Have you checked out !lemmy411? For some reason I don’t see it mentioned or linked to much, but it’s basically that, which I think would feel much more approachable to new people than pointing them to tools like Lemmyverse (as much as I do really appreciate it).
Another good one for sharing communities you’ve stumbled across would be !wowthislemmyexists.
I personally can’t wait to see communities like r/hiphopheads, r/internetisbeautiful, r/listentothis, r/battlestations… join lemmy and become as active as they are on reddit. what are some of y’all fav?
Good point :) Here’s the blurb from the pinned post in !communityPromo
A great way to find lesser known communities is to look at the /communities page on an instance. For example: lemmy.ca/communities
🌐 Instances to look through
pangora.social (NEW): Great way to find instances related to a particular topic. This is also great for picking an instance when first making an account/moving accounts.

We also have a guide for finding new communities here: lemmy.ca/post/5581032, which I’ve copied below for you.

Moving from reddit rn, a good place to get started?
I’m currently on the pawb.social instance, and already found some neat communities, still looking for recommendations however
