Lemmy.world grew from about 51k users when third-party reddit apps started to shut down to about 84.8k users at the time of this post.
Definitely felt some growing pains in the past few days, but itβs great to see the platform more active now that things have become more stable.
So, welcome reddit expats!
Have a look at !newcommunities@lemmy.world . Sort by top if needed and especially this post
Edit: and I also learned about !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca
I used to sub to new subreddit via such subreddits, or in comments of posts that showed me through a discussion. Or sidebar of subreddit on related ones.
