New to Lemmy. I can think of some specific, obvious communities that I’d be interested in (and have joined). But half of the fun I had on Reddit was from random subs I would never have thought to go searching for (and only found due to random comments/cross-posts/etc).

Trying to avoid another years-long collect-a-thon of niche communities. Is there anything like a list of communities somewhere that I could browse to find new/interesting things I wouldn’t have thought to go looking for explicitly?

    Two ways that I’ve found, and I use both:

    • Select “Communities” up top, then filter by “All” (not “Subscribed” or “Local”). Either browse the list for Lemmy communities, or search for words related to communities you want to join. The results displayed from ALL Lemmy servers that your current server is connected to (federated with).
       
    • https://browse.feddit.de/ - A Lemmy community browser. Not sure how or if it achieves anything different from the above, but worth a try as well.
