I know !findacommunity@lemmy.ml exists, but I’ve blocked lemmy.ml…

Are there any alternatives?

Edit: !lemmy411@lemmy.ca exists, lol, I should have searched better.

Anyways I guess I’ll keep this post up if anyone needs in future.

Are you looking specifically for a community for communities? If not there's also Lemmy Explorer.

May I also plug https://fediverser.network? It is a crowdsourced database of communities, instances and subreddits to let people find the best alternatives for each subreddit.

[–] Essence_of_Meh@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nice, didn't know about this one.

@Essence_of_Meh
Neither did I. It could become really useful for the whole #Fediverse.

The site above is indeed quite good

[–] crimeschneck@feddit.nl 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Sadly hasn't been updated since 6 days ago. I don't know why.

[–] Essence_of_Meh@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, it can take a while before new communities show up. Not much can be done about it I'm afraid.

[–] crimeschneck@feddit.nl 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It usually updates daily though. Check the burger menu at the top right. It shows you when the data was last updated. The README of the github page also says that "publish-pages" is failing, whatever that is.

[–] Essence_of_Meh@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I realize that but even those daily updates don't seem to catch everything. When I tried to bring some life to a community I was interested in it took a few weeks of activity before it showed up on the list. It's a great tool but it's not perfect.

Was just about to recommend !lemmy411@lemmy.ca

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

There’s !fedigrow@lemm.ee

Also !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl

[–] tamlyn@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You could ask for communities on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca

It's a bit of a combinations of !newcommunities@lemmy.world and find a !findacommunity@lemmy.ml

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You can also use this link: https://lemmyverse.net/communities

I know !findacommunity@lemmy.ml exists, but I’ve blocked lemmy.ml…

Try.. Unblocking it?

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 years ago

I didn’t block lemmy.ml by accident

[–] palordrolap@kbin.run 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do you not know why people would want to block lemmy.ml?

[–] Oha@lemmy.ohaa.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

I do. I block communities instead of instances
