It would also be good to add a link to !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca, or if some similar community exists on lemmy.world (but I don't see / haven't heard of such), so that new users have a place to check for things that are constantly evolving and changing as the Fediverse progresses.

Yeah that would be a good idea maybe. Pretty dead community though.
discuss.online also features only the dead link in the "starting guide" btw.
Iwas going through instances and it is actually staggering. This is what i have collected so far:
Best practice (Link from main sidebar)
lemmy.ca (but also links to dead browse.feddit.de link)
mander.xyz (but also links to dead browse.feddit.de link)
aussie.zone (links to dead browse.feddit.de link only)
Tolerable practice (Link from "starting guide")
lemm.ee (dead browse.feddit.de link but also lemmyverse)
lemmy.world (dead browse.feddit.de link)
sh.itjust.works (copy of world's guide so same problem)
discuss.online (dead browse.feddit.de link)
jlai.lu (bravo! :) *edited
Intolerable anti-fedi practice :) (no findable mention of community browsers)
lemmy.zip
slrpnk.net
lemmy.ml
sopuli.xyz
programming.dev
midwest.social
feddit.it
feddit.org
feddit.dk
feddit.nu
feddit.uk
feddit.nl
fedia.io
lemmy.blahaj.zone
lemmy.dbzer0.com
I find this really disappointing. How the hell are people on these instances, especially small ones even find niche communities on other instances? It's not like lemmyverse gets discussed much anymore.

To be fair, it's acting more as a collection of useful posts than anything else. It makes sense that it's not that active

- Use the search and select "federated" "Communities" filter
- Know about the Lemmyverse because it's in their guides
Use the search and select “federated” “Communities” filter
This only finds communities that someone on that instance already subscribed to. Absolutely not feasble for small instances and niche topics.

What guides though, that's what i mean. Or can you link me the feddit.org, slrpnk, sopuli etc guide?
Ah, I see. There could be indeed some improvement on that side, but I guess admins just assume that their users know about Lemmyverse because they got pointed to !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca when they joined like in this kind of comments https://lemmy.world/comment/11995882
@Emperor@feddit.uk, @poVoq@slrpnk.net what do you think? Do you think instances should add links to starting guides in their sidebars?
