What are some great communities to follow that are not on lemmy.ml or beehaw (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

The way Lemmy works right now is you search a community in your instance for it to then get shown, so you need to first discover that community from elsewhere. With that in mind, what are some growing communities that you discovered that could get some more love?

thanks, I got there in the end!

when I searched for that text/link I'm saw posts that referenced [email protected] (hyperlinks), and when I was first trying it was going to the front page and asking me to login or create an account - fail

but one of the posts that came up in the search had a different link ... hovering over it showed https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected] when I clicked on that one I could see [email protected] ... I could also see that I was still logged in as me, and there was an option to subscribe

hopefully that helps others in this brave new world ... long live Lemmy and so long Reddit!
