I’m using Liftoff but also checked out Connect and am trying to figure this out. (It took me multiple tries just to create an account so bear with me!). How can I find popular communities? I found a master list but it was in alphabetical order and wouldn’t let me sort by subscriber count.
Take a look at Lemmy explorer
Here’s a good place to start: Wayfarers’ Haven: Community tips list
This link takes me to a random comment, not a tips list :(
Oh no - thanks for letting me know!
I’ve tested this on my own side, in a regular logged-in browser as well as in-private. I’m not sure what’s going wrong.
I’ve been a user for less than 24 hours, I’m sure I’m doing something wrong lol.

Welcome!
Looks like something is breaking the link and redirecting to a completely different site. Maybe an app or a plugin?
Lemmy should generally be straight forward: you click on a link and end up on that site.
I am using the Connect for Lemmy app until Sync for Lemmy drops.
I do all of my searching for communities on https://lemmyverse.net/communities - browse.feddit.de is another often recommended site, but I find Lemmyverse nicer to browse.
