Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

In the same vein as dedicated forums, discoverability is harder, and that’s sadly just the nature of the beast.
One day someone may create a full indexer and scraper, but it’s still too early for that.
There are 2 indexers. The community browser and lemmy.directory. The former is a searchable list of all communities in the federation, and the second one is a Lemmy instance with sign-up disabled so that his server doesn't explode that auto-subscribes to every community it sees.
Bring back web rings!
I was gonna say, I'm getting Geocities webring vibes. Not sure how I feel about that haha.
Shoot I'm going to have to bring back my Alicia Silverstone site. It killed on the old banner exchanges.
Sadly I don't even remember what my site was called so I can't resurrect it
