Did someone found out how to browse and find communities where one can sort by subscribers of such communities?

The trouble I have with Lemmy for me right now to find the right community which active enough to follow.

It’s ok to join multiple small communities. You won’t miss out on anything :)

lemmyverse.net/communities lets you sort results by subscribers, active users, number of posts etc so you can look at the metric you're most interested in :)

The thing is, if everyone just goes to the most active instance, we end up with another centralized community, and it kind of defeats the purpose of the whole thing imo.

By community I don’t mean the instance. Should have been clearer that by community I mean „subreddits“.

One subreddit could be popular on instance X and another one on instance Y. So what I want are the most popular communities of all the federated instances.
