For those who are unaware lemmyverse is a good search for communities across all the federated instances
Instruction: everyone who are smart enough to be here should be smart enough to use lemmyverse
p.s. not affiliated, just that this is a cool thing to shar
The issue though is finding instances on other communities when your instance doesn’t yet know about the community.
The website helps with that. And you can set you “home instance”, so the links open on your instance. https://lemmyverse.net indexes every community from all instances, to make it easier to find ones that interest you.
Ah I didn’t know that, thanks!
