There’s also the problem where I totally want to start a community (for example: Marble Racing), but I don’t know where a good home would be for it and I don’t think my home instance would be a good home.

does it really matter that much? If people search it up, it will pop up. Even better if they discover it via a link.

I think it does a bit. The obvious one would be for porn on general purpose instances. Alternatively, my primary instance for example is a bit of a niche one related to reading, so a sports or politics community could feel disjointed especially for the admins/mods who manage the community.

No worries, I wasn’t really expecting help. I appreciate your try though.

Have you checked out !lemmy411@lemmy.ca? For some reason I don't see it mentioned or linked to much, but it's basically that, which I think would feel much more approachable to new people than pointing them to tools like Lemmyverse (as much as I do really appreciate it).

Another good one for sharing communities you've stumbled across would be !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca.

Saved both communites, but don't tell me this. Tell it to: @JaymesRS@literature.cafe
