Additions: If you know of an Off-Reddit community that isn't listed here (only from the mentioned platforms) you can contact me on sh.itjust.works (note that if the community is similar to an Off-Reddit one that's already listed, and has less than 20 users and minimal activity, then I might not add it)
Tip: Searching for Off-Reddit communities:
- Searching the Lemmyverse: LemmyVerse / Feddit.de / Lemmy.world (see note below)
- Discuit
Note: Communities from other instances only appear in the search results if someone has already loaded them on that instance by going to an address in this format https://current.instance/c/[email protected] (or with /m/ on mbin)
