Maybe it’s an instance thing, maybe it’s a Boost thing, but when I search for communities with the simple term “fitness” for example, I only get 5 results that have like, 30 members max.
I’m totally down with organically growing my community list over time just based on links and recommendations, but it is a bit annoying to not find communities when I’m pretty sure that they should exist.
Does anyone have tips on how to find things better?
Your home instance may not be aware of all communities because reasons.
Take a look at lemmyverse.net
Also, communities here just don’t have that many users.
Indeed Lemmyverse.net is the way.
And AFAIK the number of subscribers only refers to your instance so there might be more from other instances.
