I would like to see recommendations for communities based on my communities. It’s not trivial to solve, but discoverability isn’t great right now.

Problem here is also that your instance may not know about all communities from the instances you’re connected to. This could probably also be improved.

Yes, that’s what I mean by not trivial, a centralized system can do analysis like this a lot easier. But even on your own instance, they could find the N users with the most overlapping subscriptions and check which communities they follow to give you recommendations.

Recommendation algorithms are a big reason for the enshitification of other social media. You don’t need to be connected to everything everywhere all at once. Enjoy your handful of small communities.

I don’t want random posts to appear in my feed from communities I haven’t subscribed to, but I want to have a feature that shows me suggestions for communities when I ask for it. That’s a big difference. Right now it’s (too) hard to find these communities.
