What is the Lemmy.world equivalent of r/findareddit?

I want to find communities, so is there a community dedicated to finding communities?

I like this one the most: https://lemmyverse.net/communities

- That means a lot to me :) I added a Instance filter and support for KBin recently.
  
  If you setup your "Home Instance" the links will point to the community on your home instance, too.

  I was wondering what that home button did, that’s so cool! This tool is amazing.

- This seriously needs to integrated into lemmy already. Not being able to see the true member count/activity of all communities is a massive blow to discoverability and very anti-ux, and likely the biggest hurdle for newcomers.

  Yep, would be nice. No one expected the massive influx of users, though. This suddenly changed from something extremely niche to something a lot of users at least know about.
  
  IMO the biggest hurdle for newcomers is that everyone is going to lemmy.world and then it's slow and everything and they think Lemmy is slow because they don't understand how federation works (which is understandable, it's the first time they're seeing something like that).

- Noob here. When I click the link of a page there I am not logged in. How can I watch and reply to this from lemmy.world?

  Don't click the title, click the text starting wirh ! (like !linux@lemmy.ml) and paste it into search on lemmy.world. It will find that community and you can then click it and join.
  
  Edit: If others are reading this, you can click the home button and setup your home instance, that way the links will correctly go to your instance and the whole process is much better!

  I've been using this userscript to redirect all links to my instance. If you've never installed a userscript, it's pretty easy, you just need to install the Tampermonkey browser extension (there are others but it's the one I use), then click the greasyfork link in the post I linked, and click install.

!newcommunities@lemmy.world

- This is the best equivalent on lemmy.world, but just in case you don’t know this about the Fediverse yet, you don’t need a community to be on your home instance to subscribe to it. If you find any community that you like on any other instance, you are able to subscribe by searching for that community from your home instance.
  
  Just wanted to let you know that you aren’t limited to the communities you see on the lemmy.world community page, or ones linked in c/newcommunities.

- +1 for sub rehab

I used this site when migrating https://sub.rehab/

Shows where old Reddit subs relocated to or branched out to.

Theres a searchable list of all communities here https://lemmy.world/communities

You also have !findacommunity@lemmy.ml

Where you can actually ask and people reply just like r/findareddit

In addition to the other replies, this was just announced: https://www.search-lemmy.com

- It defaults to only search lemmy.world...

  He said in his announcement that it would take a bit for the engine to crawl everything and grab other instances.

- that looks useless, it just shows me an error saying I've been blocked lol!

  Try again now, seems pretty good to me? It was literally announced like an hour before I posted, so maybe they had growing pains.

There's also https://lemmy.ca/c/lemmy411 and https://lemmy.ml/c/findacommunity

this might be helpful also lemmyfind.quex.cc

- That's also pretty cool! The crawlers are all crawling 24/7 lately :) I honestly like the simplistic UI, I made mine a bit "fancier" :D https://lemmyverse.net

  thanks - a slightly different take but looks good.
