I always think of small communities id like to be a part of, but can never find any. Reddit had (has) the same issue, leading people to create subreddits around the idea of helping others find communities to fit their interests. Idk thought it would be cool but I don’t have the capabilities to do it myself.

🌐 Instances to look through
You can find communities from specific instances
A great way to find lesser known communities is to look at the
/communitiespage on an instance. Different instances may have different themes or focuses, and so you can find related communities that way.For example: https://lemmy.ca/communities
- pangora.social: Great way to find instances related to a particular topic. This is also great for picking an instance when first making an account/moving accounts.
