I hate to admit this, but I’ve started using Reddit again. It pains me, but there is stuff I just can’t get here.

    Same here. I like the idea of Lemmy but the decentralization makes it really difficult to find the content I want. Reddits centralization, while causing some problems, definitely made it easy to find communities. That lack of ease is what makes Lemmy not as easy to use for new people.

    there should be a "find the community" or something, where u can post ur niche and ppl will link where they discuss that

    There’s also the problem where I totally want to start a community (for example: Marble Racing), but I don’t know where a good home would be for it and I don’t think my home instance would be a good home.

    does it really matter that much? If people search it up, it will pop up. Even better if they discover it via a link.

    I think it does a bit. The obvious one would be for porn on general purpose instances. Alternatively, my primary instance for example is a bit of a niche one related to reading, so a sports or politics community could feel disjointed especially for the admins/mods who manage the community.

    Have you checked out !lemmy411@lemmy.ca? For some reason I don't see it mentioned or linked to much, but it's basically that, which I think would feel much more approachable to new people than pointing them to tools like Lemmyverse (as much as I do really appreciate it).

    Another good one for sharing communities you've stumbled across would be !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca.
