Lemmy411 - Don't know where to find what you're looking for?

As with /r/411 this is where you ask what Community you're looking for but not finding. Perhaps a bit more helpful now that some communities are only found on certain instances.
Found/new community announcements - there are numerous "announcement type communities - see https://lemmy.ca/post/612532
There is also !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca
Before you request There are several resources available to find communities and resources and these have been pinned to the top.
- there are community search engines at https://browse.feddit.de/ and https://lemmyverse.net/communities
- there are numerous other "find a community" and "community announcement" .. communities (list stickied; if you find another, comment pls)
- we will publish a Community Listing (at an as-of-yet-undetermined schedule)

It depends on what your answer to my question is. :)
ah. just obvious spam and obvious troll community/magazine requests. NSFW ("where do I find the donkey porn?" etc.). Bogus or troll community recommendation responses (I don't know exactly what that might look like... (like asking about the Matrix movies and being redirected to /c/theredpill? dunno)) or anyone being rude or disruptive.
For the time being as the Reddxile continues and Lemmy grows, am going easy on missplaced "related" posts like announcements of communities (should go -> !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca ) or instances, but have been recommending ppl remove and repost in the better community. Keep this one for "where do I find a community/instance for _____" type things. Enforce the things over there (which I totally stole from /r/411) -->
Ah okay. Yeah, I can help with that!
There'll be some post replies which will be like "there's two really good community search engines y don't u use those?" to which I'd reply "well, yeah, but sometimes community names aren't intuitively obvious until you know. Like /r/trees <- wasn't really about trees." Or a fan community might be named something that only a fan would know, like star wars --> /c/moseislycantina. So even tho there are two good search engines for community exploration there's still value add in this sub methinks.
presto chango shazam!
