The search isn't terribly useful for finding new communities, tbh. Lots of results with 0 active users. Is there a community here dedicated to helping people find other communities?

If we add a 'hide inactive communities' checkbox to the community search, would that help?

That might help to a small extent. I'd be somewhat worried about this feature discouraging people from engaging with smaller communities, but I imagine the active members count does this already.

Yes it would be off by default and hidden away in the advanced options.
