Is it because they also show instances, not just communities? Or is it more just a hobby project (nothing wrong with that, I’m 💯 on board with building things for the sheer enjoyment of it - even if it’s already a ‘solved’ problem)
I can only speak for myself, but I started work on mine since the Feddit one is fixed wide mode and the searching/filtering is less than ideal, I wanted to be able to see more details. Feddit one doesn’t show instance stats iirc.
There are also other lists, but I didn’t find any of them super user-friendly… If Lemmy is gonna succeed Reddit there needs to be some super friendly tools to assist community discovery.
For me these two community browsers linked here are a little more usable then the browse.feddit.de version (I am on desktop). Everyone is just trying to help grow the community in whatever way they can, and redundancies and choices never hurt. There is talks of each instance hosting a community browser over on the github issues, so this likely will be implemented in some form for each server as well.
Potentially dumb question, but I’ve seen lots of people linking to this website:
https://browse.feddit.de
What’s new/different about https://browse.toast.ooo or https://lemmyverse.net?
