How do I find a list of communities sorted by popularity?
I'm using Liftoff but also checked out Connect and am trying to figure this out. (It took me multiple tries just to create an account so bear with me!). How can I find popular communities? I found a master list but it was in alphabetical order and wouldn't let me sort by subscriber count.
Take a look at Lemmy explorer
If you login on your browser and look under Communities, they are list from most subbed to least. At least for me

Yep, click Communities at the top of your page and filter by All.
Here's a good place to start: Wayfarers' Haven: Community tips list
This link takes me to a random comment, not a tips list :(
Oh no - thanks for letting me know!
I've tested this on my own side, in a regular logged-in browser as well as in-private. I'm not sure what's going wrong.
I've been a user for less than 24 hours, I'm sure I'm doing something wrong lol.

Welcome!
Looks like something is breaking the link and redirecting to a completely different site. Maybe an app or a plugin?
Lemmy should generally be straight forward: you click on a link and end up on that site.
I am using the Connect for Lemmy app until Sync for Lemmy drops.
*saved just in case someone answers you. I've been wondering the same thing.
I do all of my searching for communities on https://lemmyverse.net/communities - browse.feddit.de is another often recommended site, but I find Lemmyverse nicer to browse.
