I definitely see it as a double edge sword. On one hand I donβt mindlessly scroll as much, on the other, the lack of content is just because Iβm figuring out the quirks, and I have a feeling finding new and weird communities could be a McGuffin quest.
I've been constantly going on https://browse.feddit.de/ to see if there any new communities that I'd like to join. Really do wish it were easier to discover communities but it is what it is
I made https://lemmyverse.net for this reason π
Not sure if the privacy settings would allow such a thing, but would a recommended feature based on your account be a possibility for the future?
The issue is getting access to your account and figuring out how to "reccomend" communities. The way reddt etc do it is by analyzing other user data, which I don't have. Perhaps we could manually tag communities somehow. π€
