Fandom-y question

I think the biggest thing that most people fleeing LJ are looking for on DW is an equal fandom presence, or at least a place to start looking. A place to pimp out comms that are created to try and replace the LJ ones.

Any ideas, fellow refugees?

Edit: Holy crap you all are fantastic!!! :D

Well, besides the ever-popular search box (search for interests, see if there are communities there that look interesting) there's also [community profile] fandomcalendar, which is an advertising community for any upcoming fandom event. It also has posts of "what you can read this month," i.e. what ficathons are posting. That's a good way to find communities.
