Meta community to discuss anything about the yiffit.net instance.

One of the harder aspects of navigation in lemmy is seeing interesting new communities on remote instances. What if there was a post here (meta) or chat that had links to all the local communities and when a new post is made to yiffit, a comment is added that links to the chat/meta post. That way if someone stumbles on something here they like, they don’t have to use some work around to see what else is here. I don’t know much about the lemmy API, but the list could simply check once a day?/week?/month? and update the post if anything changed.

Yes, I am aware !newcommunities@yiffit.net exists, but remote users probably aren't. I am also aware of the link in the sidebar (when present), but that is outdated and you only see it if you know its there.

I'm not from Yiffit but I think this would make a lot of sense on the NSFW communities especially, since there's not really going to be many comments anyway and if you're clicking into NSFW furry posts you're probably looking for more.

On a semi-related note, pawb.social just got set up with this thing and it's neat: https://boost.lemy.lol/

Its a small instance too so not too many communities to list either. Its not like .world with nearly 10k communities.
