If you're telling someone about Lemmy, what link do you send them? (lemm.ee)

This post is inspired by a conversation I had with another user earlier that, after some reflection, raised an interesting point.

When telling a user about Lemmy, trying to bring them into the fold if you will, what would be the best go to link? Think of reddit.com/r/all, but for Lemmy.

In theory, any instance will work as long as it has a large enough user base to have people subscribed to other large isntances, but having a solid landing page to point new users towards definitely has some merit.

Thoughts?

Well, since the benchmark is reddit, something like the below would likely be the best

https://lemmyverse.net/

Tell them to look at the communities tab 😉

Hey that's my site 😁 I'm looking to add a "join a server" page and make it similar to the join Lemmy one with recommended servers

I'm now also thinking about making the communities list the default..

Hey thanks for the great website. Are you able to make it search on button click instead of after each character is typed? There is a large amount of lag for me on mobile while trying to type, leading to lots of typos.

Yeah absolutely this was on my mind last night! Another person created a Bug on my GitHub already https://github.com/tgxn/lemmy-explorer/issues/33

I'll implement it soon :D
