A unified fediverse search service would be awesome, and its something I may try to tackle in the future. Part of why I'm asking this question here!
I have already found my instance's "all communities" link fairly useful for finding communities.
The problem is I am subscribed to many communities that hardly anyone ever posts anything to, and the answer is not always "be the change you want to see in the world". For example, I'm a native speaker of German and enjoy helping learners of German with grammatical questions, so I am subscribed to !german@lemmy.world – yet, almost no one ever posts any questions there for me to answer. (This is in stark contrast to reddit, where there is a very active /r/german.) People who see that community on lemmy probably think no one will ever read their question if they post it there. Chicken and egg problem.
I am a bit confused, and have a feeling you replied to the wrong comment somehow?
No, I was somewhat expanding on my previous thoughts on how to discover things on the fediverse and make it more active. Maybe that was a bit off-topic, sorry if it was.
