This community is intended to act an index of new and active smaller and harder to find communities. Post new communities in one of the 5 primary posts.
Anyone can post new communities, just please abide by the format in the sidebar.
You can find new daily communities with this link:
lemmy.world/communities?listingType=Local&sort=New&page=1
It’s not the best tool, but it allows you to see which communities have some activity and which are just dead spuds.
EDIT: There is a need for diversification from LW as recent events show the admins have a different view of censorship than a majority of the community members. Please use this link: https://lemmyverse.net/communities to diversify subscriptions beyond the two largest instances and feel free to post them here.
I’m open to suggestions on the descriptions of the 5 primary topics - I just ran with what I thought was a good descriptor of 5 different categories.
Feel free to use your own personal subscriptions of communities to add here. The idea is that this place can be a community pasteboard.
The idea behind this community is to allow everyone to “create” the list of active and interesting communities without having to rely on moderators to manually curate, which typically results in links to out-of-date and inactive communities.
