Hmm yes good idea. Thanks!
Any ideas for how to do that? A menu item on the Topics menu, perhaps?
That's a frontend question I'm too much of a backend gremlin to competently answer, haha!
With that warning, yeah, a distinguished meta/"help with PieFed* topic could be good. On LemmyNet there's a "local" page, which is the default, so people are nudged towards looking around on their own instance first. However, I get the feeling you're trying to expose the most active communities right off the bat as part of UX.
Discuss PieFed project direction, provide feedback, ask questions, suggest improvements, and engage in conversations related to the platform organization, policies, features, and community dynamics.
