So I’ve got my own instance running, and I’m stumped as how to go about finding new communities if it only shows communities I’m already subscribed too.

I can’t seem to just do a wide casting search for all communities across the Fediverse to try and find one I want to sub to.

How do I avoid this catch 22?

Since you have your own instance this will be super east.

This tool will pull the top communities, top post communities etc.

Just setup an account on your instance to configure the tool and it will start feeding tons of new communities to your instance. With your primary account you can then subscribe to them from the all communities view
