A Collection of Popular Rooms/Spaces

Below are some active rooms with minimal bridging that you may be interested in.

If you don’t know where to get started, try the Offtopic Space #offtopic-space:matrix.org, which is a collection of off-topic rooms of various communities.

You can search for other rooms on MatrixRooms.info, but please note that the results are unfiltered, and you should exercise caution in selecting rooms.

Unlike the homeserver list, this list does not require explicit consent: as long as the room/space is reasonably public (eg. on room directories that can be publicly searched), it can be included here. Please let me know (see footer) of any popular room/space and I will consider.
