As with /r/411 this is where you ask what Community you're looking for but not finding. Perhaps a bit more helpful now that some communities are only found on certain instances.

Found/new community announcements - there are numerous "announcement type communities - see https://lemmy.ca/post/612532

There is also [email protected]

Before you request There are several resources available to find communities and resources and these have been pinned to the top.

I [posted this on [email protected] yesterday](https://lemmy.world/post/1080409?scrollToComments=true) and I thought it was worth sharing here too to help people looking for specific types of communities on the Lemmyverse:

I built this for myself some years ago and used it a lot to find many interesting niche subreddits. Today I expanded it to also help myself and others find interesting niche communities across the Lemmyverse!

There is a longer explanation here from an older article, but basically:

  • You give this a link that you found interesting
  • It will (try to) find everywhere it has been shared on the Lemmyverse (and other websites)
  • It will show you all comments from everywhere it's been shared on a single page
  • You can do all the regular stuff like filter, sort, isolate etc.

One thing I find myself doing very often is hitting "toggle sources" on the top banner; this shows me everywhere the link has been shared and commented on, and if I see a community I'm not familiar with, I'll isolate the comments from that source and have a look through to see if it's a community I'd like to engage with.

There are also browser extensions and an iOS shortcut available.

You can check out an example from a post that just hit "Hot" on lemmy.world here!

I hope this helps people find interesting, engaging and fulfilling communities in this next chapter of the internet! ๐Ÿš€

If you want an idea of what the breadth of this kind of search can look like, check out the results for the article "How to Kill a Decentralised Network" which has been making the rounds recently.

Very interesting, but technically off-topic.
