I wonder why I haven’t seen any communities so far that link to related communities in the sidebar.

That was common in some subreddits, but it would be much more crucial for lemmy/kbin because of how bad communities can propagate sometimes.

Probably going back to customs of websites 20 years ago, who linked to each other to increase their visibility and ranking. I’ve also seen that on zeronet, where they included banners of other sites to increase their spread in the network.

      Yep, such links like between fuck cars and yimby are what I meant.

      Though a link with Bang-Syntax might be easier, otherwise that results in a bit of instance hopping and switching to browser in some mobile apps.
