Ocelot,
Seraphin,

If you’re coming over from reddit, try sub.rehab

It lists most of the popular subs and their fediverse equivalents. E.g. the community you’re looking for sounds like Reddit’s r/showerthoughts, which has

kbin.social/m/showerthoughts

lemmy.world/c/showerthoughts

squabbles.io/s/showerthoughts

communities in the fediverse.

Even if you haven’t used reddit, a lot of the sub names are pretty self-explanatory apart from some of the cryptic/memey named ones.

PerfectStranger,

Thank you for the tip! I see you linked to squabbles. Does squabbles require a separate register/login? I can’t seem to figure out how to subscribe to it using my lemmy account.

Seraphin,

As far as I can tell I think it does require a separate login. I’m still relatively new to the fediverse and had a friend recommend squabbles, but I’ve already made an account here so have been trying to figure this out too tbh. Hopefully someone can correct me if it is possible.

You may want to put an exclamation point (!) in front of that community name, to make it clickable. Thanks for pointing it out.

SmarfDurden,

I tried doing that but it doesn’t seem to make it clickable lol so I took it off thinking I did it wrong

Also !lemmy411 (or lemmy.ca/c/lemmy411) and !wowthislemmyexists (or lemmy.ca/c/wowthislemmyexists)

There’s a pinned post in 411 with more

lemmyverse.net seems better than a community for this tee bee aych

CloverSi,

That’s useful too, but sometimes it’s hard to find them by keyword. Plus if the answer to a post is ‘there is no community’ and the post gets popular, it can be a nice way to kickstart the creation of a new community.

www.search-lemmy.com ?

I’m open to feedback though if the search results seem out of order etc…

CloverSi,

Oh hey, this is great! Nice work, it found some pretty obscure communities in a few tests. I wish there was a megathread somewhere for Lemmy/fediverse tools like this.

Same. Honestly I need to create a community just for this tool IMO. But I don’t have the time to moderate it.

SmashingSquid,
CloverSi,

wow, ask and I shall receive! thanks!
