How to find new communities to subscribe to?
So I’ve got my own instance running, and I’m stumped as how to go about finding new communities if it only shows communities I’m already subscribed too.
I can’t seem to just do a wide casting search for all communities across the Fediverse to try and find one I want to sub to.
How do I avoid this catch 22?
You can search on lemmyverse.net or browse.feddit.de
Or see if anything in !newcommunities@lemmy.world takes your interest.
Awesome, this looks like exactly what I'm after.
This is incredible: https://lemmyverse.net/communities
By the way, upgradding to lemmy version 0.18.1 is well worth it. Some massive under the hood performance improvements 🙂
Done! Thanks mate.
Since you have your own instance this will be super east.
https://github.com/Fmstrat/lcs
This tool will pull the top communities, top post communities etc.
Just setup an account on your instance to configure the tool and it will start feeding tons of new communities to your instance. With your primary account you can then subscribe to them from the all communities view
Or you can go to https://lemmyverse.net/
If you see links that you find interesting, throw them into kulli.sh, and you get back a consolidated comment feed of every Lemmy community it is being discussed in. You can take a look at the kind of comments and discussions in different communities and see if there are any that have the sort of vibe that you're looking for and then go ahead and subscribe!
