Discovering new communities (lemmy.ca)

One thing I liked (and sometimes disliked) about Reddit was that my feed was a mix of posts in communities I'd joined and a few suggestions of posts from subs The Algorithm™ thought I might like.

On Lemmy I'm realizing I'm starting to fall into a bit of an echo chamber situation because I basically only see stuff I'm already a member of, unless I explicitly go to All or scroll the list of communities.

Are there less involved (lazy) ways of discovering new stuff and broadening my horizons a bit?

We launched some threads dedicated to specific topics last month, you should find some communities that are interesting to you

Scroll by new, rather than active, and scroll by Local, rather than All.

Browse all and sort by new or scaled maybe?
