Where are the best meta-communities about what's happening on Lemmy? (lemm.ee)

After this meta-post about a Lemmy instance got removed, I became curious: where are the communities that contain general discussion about the state of the broader Lemmy community itself?

The bigger communities I found when looking for Fediverse meta content are:

But most of the communities are much smaller and less popular:

Most of the "meta"communities I found were specific to a single server. Which is great for reporting server issues themselves, but not so great for understanding the broader community.

I think you've discovered most of them. I wish the meta communities were more active. I find them very valuable.

Then again I should try harder to be the change I want to see in the world.

I'm going to be the change I want to see too.
BRB off to start some drama

Update: I tried stalking a few people's profiles, and I just found a couple good communities. This is not a bit.
