Is there a good discovery tool for kbin magazines like lemmy has? (kbin.social)

I've got a lemmy account elsewhere in the fediverse, and I have found this tool for finding instances and communities: https://lemmyverse.net/

I only just discovered though that it doesn't work with any kbin sites, it just doesn't list them at all. Is there any good way to browse different kbin magazines like this?

Ideally I want to be able to easily search by keyword and by instance. I love that this part of the fediverse is expanding, it just seems to me that it needs a good content discovery method.

Fedia.io and others do eventually show up if you scroll down a lot, kbin social just dominates the general list. You can use the domain name to quickly weed out kbin.social stuff. Props to the designer for making the filter real time.

Note that it looks to me from experimenting that the filter uses only the side panel and title for keywords, so instances and magazines that don't have a great description of their purpose may not get hits based only on the actual posts.
