When making a new post, I often can't remember right away which community it would be most relevant to. Sometimes it's pretty obvious, but other times I have to scroll through the list and find the one I'm looking for or one that might be a good fit.

Now, I know that there are specific communities like !community_community@slrpnk.net that is for this purpose as well, but I was wondering if it would be useful to have a simple automated solution sort of like how github searches for issues to see if your question (post) has already been asked.

I'd be curious to know other's thoughts on the matter and if you think something like this could be a helpful addition or not.

This doesn't sound like you're trying to thoughtfully engage with any community on the network, and are, instead, wanting to mindlessly optimize the reach| ofr whatever it is you're trying to slap your user name on.

My thoughts are, decide who you're engaging with first, and treat each Lemmy community as a community, not an audience.

This, so much. And it is something I try to tell myself several times a day I spend online.
