I collected some resources that can help in this post, like the aforementioned lemmyverse.net. Another useful trick I’ve found is going to instances dedicated to specific interests (like programming.dev) and browsing their communities list.
The first couple links in my post are kbin specific but the rest should be useful to everybody!
And to not even have feature parity (no polls, for example) and not be able to view NSFW posts…
Some resources for finding communities
Communities/Magazines
Websites
Special Interest Instances
$13 a year or $1.50 a month for Apollo - not that much
Calling a community [x]Porn that’s just SFW high-quality photos of something (eg EarthPorn, RoomPorn, etc). Leave that naming convention in the 2010s.
Hi from kbin!
Yeah right now there’s https://browse.feddit.de/ to browse communities, but putting that in an app (and adding some sorting/filtering options) would be a killer feature
edit: that site only shows Lemmy communities, not kbin ones
It’s private again, and tbh, if Reddit is replacing mods, r/Tumblr would be an odd place to start. Not putting much stock in this rumor.

A few I’ve found on my travels so far. slrpnk.net is definitely a good place to look for green/sustainable communities.
So far I’ve been browsing all-hot and all-newest mainly, to find new communities to subscribe to (and some to block). At some point, probably soon considering the growth in the threadiverse, I’ll switch my home page to subscribed. I comment wherever I feel like it, but I’ve only posted on kbin.social so far.
