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.
This is just a random idea I had, it’ll only work with community input.
I’ve found it’s really hard to find/create new communities and keep them active, and that’s mostly due to the algorithm that priorities existing communities over new.
This is one possible tool to create a user curated index to counteract the algorithm and create a list of good/active smaller communities.
I think that can work, and can complement what we try do to on !newcommunities@lemmy.world with the regular topic-focused posts

already did :) the idea behind /c/index is just that it can be a passive tool for when people need it. I’ll consider a weekly post as someone else suggested to keep it active.
