This is a handy resource. Thanks for sharing! It'd be cool if this got integrated into an app in the future, I think it would help users a lot.
Lemmy411 - Don't know where to find what you're looking for?
As with /r/411 this is where you ask what Community you're looking for but not finding. Perhaps a bit more helpful now that some communities are only found on certain instances.
Found/new community announcements - there are numerous "announcement type communities - see https://lemmy.ca/post/612532
There is also !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca
Before you request There are several resources available to find communities and resources and these have been pinned to the top.
- there are community search engines at https://browse.feddit.de/ and https://lemmyverse.net/communities
- there are numerous other "find a community" and "community announcement" .. communities (list stickied; if you find another, comment pls)
- we will publish a Community Listing (at an as-of-yet-undetermined schedule)

This is amazing. I need to figure out a way to save it
I see we've passed 10,000 communities!
Yep. Tho how many of those are redundant communities across multiple instances. Still, very exciting times for the lemmyverse.
I think the big killer feature (if this can even be done) is to associate like named communities from different instances. Like destiny@lemmy.world <--> destiny@lemmy.ca marry up and start subscribing/replicating each other's content.
That would be great. Maybe one could be merged onto another so you wouldn't even have to host the content twice unless you want to.
Reddit has duplicates sometimes too, it's just a bit more likely do to the two-component namespace and possible defederation here. With any luck one of a pair will become dominant the same way.
