As with /r/411 this is where you ask what Community you're looking for but not finding. Perhaps a bit more helpful now that some communities are only found on certain instances.

Found/new community announcements - there are numerous "announcement type communities - see https://lemmy.ca/post/612532

There is also !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca

Before you request There are several resources available to find communities and resources and these have been pinned to the top.

  4. No posting of personal information
  5. Please refrain from suggesting users should use search engines or directories.
  6. No joke, troll or misleading suggestions or requests

Couldn't find anything by browsing around. Looking for a community to ask about alternatives to stuff, like an alternative to a social media, or an alternative to something else in general, things like that, anything would be appreciated.

It hasn't gained much traction yet but there's !likethismaylike@lemm.ee specifically for that.

I'm not sure if there is a specific community for 'alternatives', and you might be better off asking in the communities for a particular topic. That way you're more likely to reach people that know about the options that are available. Some general communities that come to mind:

Higher quality products:

Alternatives from specific regions:

General questions:

If you have specific topics that you want to ask about, I can look for related communities (like say !askandroid@lemdro.id and !android@lemdro.id )
