This is a topic I enjoyed seeing over at the other place, so I thought I'd try to get it going here if people are interested.

As many people here right now I assume, I'm coming to Lemmy as a Reddit alternative. I've got my account created via lemmy.world and have a bunch of other communities that I was able to find just by browsing the Communities section found here. However, since there are potentially infinite instances and communities out there, how do you guys go about finding new ones that might be relevant to your interests? The list of communities only gets you so far, imo.

Not sure if this is the right place for this? But I think a big sore spot in the new Lemmy-user experience is the search result interface. When searching for a new instance, for example, after staring at it for a couple minutes I noticed that the instance names are in green, whereas posts are in blue, but I don't think this is particularly obvious to new users. If this is to take off, I think making it absolutely clear when search is returning a new community to a user will be vital. (https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/ad06d2b0-c6d0-449d-a815-381785f42e25.png)
