It turns out there is actually a community that’s called “newcommunities” which announces newly added communities. Also, if you use one of the more popular mobile apps, they are pretty good at searching for communities and interest topics.

There's actually a community called "New Communities" that shares them all the time. I'd drop a link but I'm still confused about how exactly to link communities
here is a nifty cross-instance community browser I've been using to get my way across the lemmy ecosystem.
The neat thing about lemmy is you're not the product, so there's no need to try to make you engage more and more with the site, you're here because you want to, not because they try to make you stay.
That being said I just saw this site where you can find communities across lemmy instances. You can find whatever you are actually interested into. https://lemmyverse.net/communities
Sort by all/new
Note this will only show you communities that someone on your instance is already subscribed to, not every community on Lemmy.
Was going to say the same, adding that I hope Lemmy gets improved in the future so you can filter out communities you don't and will never care about.
See https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/61827 it looks like lemmy.directory might have died since this was written, and lemmyverse.net is a new option. Still lots of good info in there though.
