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 weekly post is a good idea. I'll look into maybe creating a bot for that in the future.

But it would be nice to have a resource where you can easily leave a comment saying a community doesn’t exist anymore or it moved or whatever.

Couldn't anyone just reply to the deleted community comment link with something like ?

I think most communities wind up kinda just going idle rather than deleted. The big communities have such power in numbers, it's very difficult to sustain them without a mass influx like TenForward did. A few others have succeeded.

I think this just gives a little tool to the small communities that might need it, and it could improve Lemmy overall with more interesting and active smaller communities. The top 50 communities should really be in a constant flux if Lemmy is going to improve over time. Preferably on not just LW as well...

    Oh, yeah, that's what I was trying to say but I worded it badly. Unlike a separate website, people can just easily comment on the status. Or link to an active community with the same theme, or something.
