This suddenly does not work
edit:
It looks like the problem is on lemmy.ml, not lemmy.world
Does not work either.

!newtolemmy@lemmy.ca
There is not
That should be the first thing new users see. But also, it doesn’t go as far as I’m imagining. I’m imagining more of a wiki, with every single instance, with a description of what kind of content goes on that instance. What is that instance’s personality?
And then again for each individual community. You’d know which communities are active, and which not if the wiki doesn’t even have anyone that updates the wiki.
Well that removes a HUGE source of potential that Lemmy could have. It would be the second most useful new feature they could implement.
There is a weekly thread on !newcommunities@lemmy.world to promote active communities
And that’s great. Thats one way to promote the new communities. Smaller communities as they’re just starting out need all the help they can get. I fully appriciate that it exists.
What I’m suggesting would be in addition to that, and it would promote ALL communities. Big and small. It could even have a search bar, where you tell the guide what topics you’re interested in, and it could return a list of all communities that fit your search, sorted by big to small.
So, my idea is a different kind of tool. Both should exist, but you would use them for different purposes.
