Add an alternative Explore Communities for communities even have 1 member

(#4482) Feature Under consideration accessibility community

Current problem

The current community system is preserving and supporting the communities with high members. Fluxer as an open platform should give opportunity to small and nano communities which have even 1 member! That is the thing connects people to themselves.

Proposed change

Serve to user an alternative "Explore Communities". If user wanting to discover micro communities he/she will. The current rules will stay same But when people enters for alternative They will be able to see every community even have 1 member So there will be 2 explore communities

I think this is best left for community-made, outside the app, websites. An in-app explore menu carries the implication that those communities are somewhat endorsed by Fluxer Platform AB since they would be made very accessible; which could harm their reputation if hateful or illegal communities were made and shared there.

A common user may not aware of community-made "explore communities". It is not expected to know alternatives like fluxerlist.com or fluxer server list discover communities. Fluxer can give a notification to user at this new "official alternative Explore Communities", "The communities in this search list are not verified by Fluxer." Official support is always better than community made alternatives. It makes the communities more accessible and the Fluxer more democratic. And i think it is not a big problem if there will be some hateful or illegal communities. Fluxer already did not verify them and with report Fluxer can remove them from the list. And people's nature not towards to hatred and illegal. These communities will be minority in the ocean. Just to protect people from illegal communities it is not worthy banning for everyone a very democratic official alternative explore communities system.

makes sense, since fluxer is quite small at the moment, its already hard to find people who might enjoy your niche hobbies. current system only favors already big servers, and the point of discovery should also be for small upcoming servers to show themselves that they also exist. since we currently have a problem of bigger non fluxer communities usually refusing to put a fluxer invite link to their communities instead of a discord one
