When coming from reddit, one has a list of subreddits and is probably looking for similar communities. Could we help that search somehow? It is harder than on reddit because matching communities are distributed across multiple instances.

Would it make sense to maintain an awesome list? Or a separate community “looking for community”?

    I’m hoping future versions of search will allow searching all federated instances for communities. This entire thing with having to go look for communities on instances manually and copy pasting links, that’s actually solvable with software.

      Yeah this is very clunky at the moment. Especially on a smaller server where most communities aren’t yet known to your instance. I saw another comment saying its a priority by the devs to improve this, so fingers crossed 🤞
