I agree, the communities are going started but there’s no way to organically find them
I used lemmyverse.net to find communities from the subs list I had on reddit, but I'll just have to remember to keep searching after some time has passed since my I won't have my reddit account for reference
Among what the others have mentioned, there is also sub.rehab - some results include communities that are not on Lemmy/Kbin however.
Fwiw. I searched 2 ways. Searching “ALL” I first searched for the subreddits I subscribed to on Reddit, usually partial word searches.
Then I searched ALL by topic very broadly, like “music”.
For both searches, I joined communities liberally that had a decent amount of subscribers. Figured those with momentum will probably rise up more over time. So far so good!
I know there is https://browse.feddit.de which is how I found some of the communities I'm subscribed to
I like lemmyverse.net more in terms of UI and usability
Some of the apps in development like Memmy have search functions
