The link to https://browse.feddit.de/ is dead and should be updated to https://lemmyverse.net/communities.
Personally i think it would even make sense to link this from the main site sidebar. Not because it is a problem finding communities on other instances from within world, at least this should be the best instance to be able to, but as a function of being a “role model” for other instances.
To be fair, it’s acting more as a collection of useful posts than anything else. It makes sense that it’s not that active
This only finds communities that someone on that instance already subscribed to. Absolutely not feasble for small instances and niche topics.
What guides though, that’s what i mean. Or can you link me the feddit.org, slrpnk, sopuli etc guide?
Ah, I see. There could be indeed some improvement on that side, but I guess admins just assume that their users know about Lemmyverse because they got pointed to !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca when they joined like in this kind of comments https://lemmy.world/comment/11995882
@Emperor@feddit.uk, @poVoq@slrpnk.net what do you think? Do you think instances should add links to starting guides in their sidebars?
I’m not sure about “should” but it is well worth flagging the issue up with Instance Admins who may have overlooked this and are happy to rectify the issue.

I have a getting started guide I wrote a long time ago, but it’s probably a bit of old now. Do we have any decent recent guide?
Probably
done
Amazing!
Not starting guides, like jlai.lu it’s there but some links deep hidden. This is such an obvious user experience problem that this - in my opinion - needs to be featured prominently in the main sidebar. Almost everywhere you have to dig deep to even understand that you cannot find all the communities hosted on other instances, unless you use these tools, or have a huge instance like world so basically everything is subscribed to by somebody.
That’s why mander.xyz, lemmy.ca and aussie.zone get my gold award :)
