Is there a Lemmy community for finding other Lemmy communities?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 55 points – 7 months ago

I know there are sites out there designed for finding Lemmy communities that aren't within your instance but it can be a difficult to find some more abstract ideas.

For example a community for goofy joke "million dollar" ideas like a gag gift for suburban moms that consists of divorce papers in a red frame that says "Break in case of emergency" or a gun that plays the Danny Phantom lines "He's a phantom" or "I'm going ghost" whenever you pull the trigger.

🌐 Instances to look through

::: spoiler You can find communities from specific instances

A great way to find lesser known communities is to look at the /communities page on an instance. Different instances may have different themes or focuses, and so you can find related communities that way.

For example: https://lemmy.ca/communities

pangora.social: Great way to find instances related to a particular topic. This is also great for picking an instance when first making an account/moving accounts.

Can I advertise a kbin-based community in any of these links?

For sure! I think most of them should be perfectly fine for Kbin communities. I don't even notice the difference when I interact with the Kbin ones. I assume there may be some federation issues so maybe I'm not seeing all the Kbin content, but I can't tell otherwise

You can for sure advertise it in !communityPromo@lemmy.ca because it's open to communities on any platform (source: me because I wrote that guideline 😄)
