I'm looking for somewhere where I can ask for a topic and have suggestions and be redirected to a fitting community if one exists

If there's a community for this, can someone share it? Thanks

Btw the topic I'm searching for is wireless (bluetooth) earbuds, thanks!

These two are larger and allow asking for recommendations: !communitypromo@lemmy.ca and !newcommunities@lemmy.world

This is specifically for asking, but smaller: !lemmy411@lemmy.ca

People have also asked in !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca

lemmyverse.net - community search

Thanks

Already knew it and community names aren't straightforward sometimes, so I was looking for somewhere to ask people

On that note, I've found the built-in lemmy search function to be amazingly thorough, fast, and useful. You can search content from all communities, not just the ones on your instance, search comments, sort by date, what-have-you.

Sometimes it doesn't pick up some things, I believe it might also be related to the fact that the instance I'm on is recent, but it has previously allowed me to find some nice things so yeah, that's that

I mean, you don't have to be a local user to use the search functions on any of the more established instances. I can easilly see search being one of the more taxing functions for smaller servers.

True, that's what I often do

[โ€“] dessalines@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

!buyitforlife@slrpnk.net maybe?

Outside of the community search, there's not a good place to ask about a community other than maybe !asklemmy@lemmy.ml

If electronic in any way, the item must be open source

That sub should be ruled out then

Thanks for asklemmy, will check, though it doesn't seem to fit

Hi, mod of Buyitforlife here!

The rule you quoted only applies to people self promoting their own products to sell there, they do not apply for recommending something or asking for suggestions for something. Feel free to make a post there about earbuds!
