It hasn't gained much traction yet but there's !likethismaylike@lemm.ee specifically for that.

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)

MODERATORS
I'm not sure if there is a specific community for 'alternatives', and you might be better off asking in the communities for a particular topic. That way you're more likely to reach people that know about the options that are available. Some general communities that come to mind:
Higher quality products:
Alternatives from specific regions:
- !buycanadian@lemmy.ca
- !buyeuropean@feddit.uk
- !BuyEuropean@lemm.ee
- !buyfromeu@feddit.org
- !buyafrican@baraza.africa
General questions:
If you have specific topics that you want to ask about, I can look for related communities (like say !askandroid@lemdro.id and !android@lemdro.id )
Thx for this! Much appreciated! Although when I posted in the nostupidquestions one I only got swarmed with exclusively political responses (that didn't even answer my question) and even one guy being an ass about it, even though I didn't ask anything political at all, nor did I want that...
Is there anything like that community but less toxic and unhelpful by any chance?
Hello,
Sorry to hear, !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world tends to be quite political.
You can maybe try on !ask@lemm.ee next time, I mod there and I try to keep a nicer atmosphere.
There is also !casualconversation@lemm.ee
