🌐 Instances to look through

You can find communities from specific instancesA great way to find lesser known communities is to look at the /communities page on an instance. Different instances may have different themes or focuses, and so you can find related communities that way. For example: lemmy.ca/communities- pangora.social: Great way to find instances related to a particular topic. This is also great for picking an instance when first making an account/moving accounts. - awesome-lemmy-instances
