There are a couple of communities focused in finding other communities, like
!communitypromo@lemmy.ca
!newcommunities@lemmy.world
!trendingcommunities@feddit.nl
And general fediverse news:

Contribute to communities you like even if they're kinda empty. The important part is to get the conversation moving in a lot of these places, and someone has to start that.
Also remember to play around with different sorting algorithms. If active is getting stale, try hot. If you aren't seeing enough small communities, try scaled. I also like using Top X Hours, from 6 to 24.

A great way to find lesser known communities is to look at the
/communitiespage on an instance. For example: https://lemmy.ca/communitiesFor a list of instances to look through:
- pangora.social (NEW): 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.
- awesome-lemmy-instances: not that organized, but it
