A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Locking this post as it violates rule 5.
If you want to analize this with a programming language, you can download a JSON with a big directory of instances and communities here: https://data.lemmyverse.net/
A absolute realtime list is pretty well impossible since first a new one would have to be noticed by other peers, but this is a decent site to search through.
Thank you, I will give it a go.
Go to lemmyverse.net in your web browser. They have a bot that builds a list of all communities on all instances, and lets you search them.
No lemmy instance itself will, because they don't crawl the whole network themselves.
If you navigate to your instance in a web browser, there is a link where you can see all communities visible to that instance, which on a large instance will be all communities from all federated instances.
