What are some great communities to follow that are not on lemmy.ml or beehaw (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

The way Lemmy works right now is you search a community in your instance for it to then get shown, so you need to first discover that community from elsewhere. With that in mind, what are some growing communities that you discovered that could get some more love?

If you access them like regular links you wont be able to sub to them since your account is in another instance.

That's actually not true! If you format the links like this: /c/[email protected], like I did, then anyone who clicks on them will be brought to the community on the same instance they're viewing the post from. (At least, assuming that the community has been searched for and synced on the instance already.)
