Not mine, just cross-posting.
This is extremely useful. I wanted to post a story about China but didn’t know where until this post showed up. With this I get an overview over the instances which have China related Communities and they are sorted by users/posts/comments. This is amazing! Thanks for sharing it!
Oh and I checked it and my single user instance is there too :D
I personally don’t understand what’s wrong with communities tab, it seems to give a pretty similar list to this when you apply filters looking for the most popular of all communities.
I find this really useful for small instances that don’t have a large communities tab.
If no one in my instance has subscribed or looked for a community, I won’t be able to find it with the search unless I have its address.
you know what I really wish, some easier way to be able to subscribe to a community on a remote instance from your own account. Like a shared login or some browser extension that sees you’re on a lemmy and allows you to subscribe from your account back home
maybe I’m using it wrong, but right now If I’m browsing lemmy explorer and find a community on lemmy.ca, I have to copy the address manually and then go back and find it on my local lemmy where I have my account to add it
