411-style community for finding communities? (self.chat)

Seems like we could benefit from a large community specifically oriented towards helping others find communities for a specific topic. Does anything of that sort exist on beehaw or elsewhere?

EDIT: I will be including communities that fit this bill here as I find them so others can see them:

[email protected] <--- this one fits the bill most closely

You mean something where you ask for community recommendations from other people? Or just a searchable community index like lemmyverse.net?

[–] technologenesis 3 points 2 years ago

yeah I was thinking some kind of 411 sub, something to use once you've tried the community index

Doesn't make sense to include a lemmy.world community as long as we aren't federated with them imo

i'm a visitor from distant reaches of the fediverse so i'm including it for fellow travellers

[email protected] is the main one I've seen

I guess it doesn't help that beehaw just defederated from lemmy.world, all the more reason to join a smaller instance which can still interact with both.

Just an FYI that the links you've provided in the OP don't work the way you expect them to.

[–] technologenesis 2 points 2 years ago

fixed, thanks

Not sure why the links aren't working but agreed that [email protected] is a good one.
