Hi there, I’m interested in collating a list of communities both to help me find them but also in the long term to create a list accessible to everyone in a simple way. Ideally it would be a list of all instances but just active instances would also be fine. I appreciate that https://browse.feddit.de/ already exists but I’d rather independently collate it both to avoid plagiarism and to ensure there are multiple independent sources of information. If you offer me any advice (even if it seems obvious to you) please reply. I’m fairly new to Lemmy so still figuring out how to navigate it all.
They main way I find instances and communities is using https://lemmyverse.net . It seems to have most if not all of them.
I also publish the data, there’s a link in the top right menu, if you want to use it for anything 😀
Hey that’s so helpful thanks! Is that on the community sidebar or your profile you’re referring to?
Is that on the community sidebar or your profile you’re referring to? Uhh, I mean the site https://lemmyverse.net/ for browsing and https://data.lemmyverse.net/ for integrating with data :)
Interestingly, seems if you copy/paste some of those communities and attempt to find them in the search here, it turns with no results?
For general info to everyone, I have found that it does matter what instance you join, check out their site to see what kind of posts are approved.
