I just discovered https://baraza.africa/, which is an African focused instance.

Quite interesting to me as I'm not that familiar with that continent.

https://fanaticus.social/ is interesting to follow professional sports

These links take me to the home page of the instance in a browser. How can I find communities in the instance and follow them in my Lemmy app (I use connect)?

I usually add new communities while logged in on the browser, I just copy the URL into the search bar. I mostly use tools like https://www.search-lemmy.com/

copy the url, go to the login page of connect, paste the url in the "instance" input field and login as a guest
