I’m genuinely so excited to see some of the more focussed communities blossom on this platform as they have on Reddit over the years. Which are your favourites and which do you think could succeed here?

    On reddit there was /r/Serendipity, where a bot would would highlight a randomish post from a fringe subreddit with a little break down of age, number of subs, average comment length, reading level, then like a top of all time post, top of the month, and top of the week.

    I would love something like this for instances and communities. Not like a direct copy necessarily, but a one stop place to share and cross pollinate communities. I feel like there’s a ton of communities whose first hurdle will be userbase, and the easier it is for people to find and join, the richer the ecosystem will be.

    For instance, I regularly used /r/hiphopheads on reddit, but it took me days to find !hiphopheads@sopuli.xyz (also, I don’t know how to link communities/instances). I wonder how many of my most used subreddits have a lemmy analog that I don’t know about because it’s on an odd instance or something.
