I also made a post collecting beginner guides for new lemmy users. Feel free to comment any new site and I’ll update the list.
The only thing that’d be cool is if these community browsers could add the search for other communities as well, like for the kbin aggregator’s communities. There’s one called RedditMigration (https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration or @RedditMigration) that has more than 250 posts, and it’s started on kbin.social. It would be cool to be able to search more easily other communities so that it’s easier to find the content on the fediverse.
Kbin can improve its community search too but I am finding it easier to know about other communities not on kbin on its search. Whereas, on lemmy, maybe it’s because I’m on a lower population instance, but it’s very hard to find a community if it’s not on lemmy, and I didn’t already just know about it from the kbin account
Communities is definitely limited. You can’t sort them, you can’t filter them (particularly by instance when looking at All).
The best way to discover new comms seems to be using Lemmyverse, apparently you can set it to your own instance so that links come up in your instance, where you’re logged in and can subscribe.
