Teaching new users how to find, subscribe and be able to post to communities that aren’t on their own instances is the biggest hurdle in the Fediverse I’ve come across so far. To find this community for example, all they have to do is put “!reddit@lemmy.world” in the search box while logged in on their instance and they’ll find it and be able to subscribe. Also getting the idea across that they don’t have to have an account on the instance where their favorite community is in order to subscribe and post there.
Aside from that, maybe a list of communities in the Fediverse that closely match popular subs on Reddit eg: /r/all, /r/worldnews, /r/videogames, etc.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I seem to remember searching for communities from kbin doesn’t work if you use the exclamation point.
Correct.
