I really like the trending communities; great way to find new communities…
Hmm, I don’t really get that. Most of the time “trending communities” seem to be newly-created communities with little if any content. Considering how common it is for people to grab a community name and sit on it indefinitely, I feel like the ‘trending detection’ formula could be tweaked to display newer communities with solid growth, instead.
…or remind you to look for something you hadn’t thought about.
I salute the spirit of that, but the number of healthy communities across the FV seems pretty limited so far. Sure, it’s not that hard to find ghost communities with search tools (I tend to use this one), but that’s kind of a bittersweet feeling.
