    Potentially dumb question, but I’ve seen lots of people linking to this website:

    https://browse.feddit.de

    What’s new/different about https://browse.toast.ooo or https://lemmyverse.net?

    Is it because they also show instances, not just communities? Or is it more just a hobby project (nothing wrong with that, I’m 💯 on board with building things for the sheer enjoyment of it - even if it’s already a ‘solved’ problem)

    • I can only speak for myself, but I started work on mine since the Feddit one is fixed wide mode and the searching/filtering is less than ideal, I wanted to be able to see more details. Feddit one doesn’t show instance stats iirc. There are also other lists, but I didn’t find any of them super user-friendly… If Lemmy is gonna succeed Reddit there needs to be some super friendly tools to assist community discovery.

        Nice! I sort of hope these community discovery tools & improvements eventually make their way back ‘upstream’ into Lemmy’s UI over time. Imagine not needing a separate discovery app because Lemmy’s built-in one is already the best one available 😄
