In my opinion that will do more for refugees.

I’m tryin’. Is there a megathread somewhere where communities and instances introduce themselves and give an elevator pitch?
I’ve tried sifting through a massive list of instances but they’re not often named something that gives away their philosophy and it is a bit tedious to click each and every one. Not to mention then having to locate communities.
But I’m chill and I’ll just float around and explore. It’s not the worst thing and it feels like early 2000s internet a little bit.
I don’t think there is, truth is, we are like about 5 seconds in the bing bang, it’s going to take a bit of time for things to settle and start having identities, some instances are leaning left, some are right, some are somewhere in between.
A lot of instances are just general-purpose, I think, so any philosophy is kind of come from who’s there, which you wouldn’t know until you got there. But I find the list of communities on an instance is helpful. If there are more than a page or two, it’s probably general-purpose, but a smaller number will probably show the interests of the people already there.
It certainly needs an experimental phase, I was just doing research and checking out instances and whatnot first few days. You might find this tool useful for browsing instances and communities: https://lemmyverse.net/
Just pick any instance. They largely all federate each other and you can subscribe to communities from any instance. You won’t miss out on anything.
Not a mega thread, but a dedicated community !newcommunities@lemmy.world
