Community dropdown and profile information
I was looking for a way to see what communities I have posted in, or am a "member" of, and I didn't find it.
It would be really helpful to have a dropdown like SE does, where I can click a button in the top-right, and see "Current Community" and "Your Communities".
As it is, there is no easy way for me to find one community from another. From meta, I have to search for the site proposal, and click the "status launched" link to get to the community I want.
Also, when viewing my profile, I'd like to be able to see similar information as well, such as questions, answers, reputation, badges, and whatever other information you deem appropriate.
Thanks for bringing this up. I agree; we need to add the concept of a network profile and have a GitHub issue for it. …

Expect a full announcements of the new features soon.
Thanks for bringing this up. I agree; we need to add the concept of a network profile and have a GitHub issue for it. But we haven't gotten to it yet. Update 2024-10-02: We have just deployed a minimal "network profile": on the user profile page there's a new tab, "All Communities", which links to the all the other profiles this user has on the network. It currently shows the number of posts, reputation, and whether the user is a moderator there. (We want to make that better in the future.)
Another way to get to the community you want is to go to the communities list and then visit the community of interest. You can then use your profile link at the top of the page to get to your profile. That's more steps than is ideal, but it's a workaround until we get a proper network profile in place.
The communities list sometimes lags new communities a bit (our two newest aren't there yet but should be soon), unfortunately. With luck, if you're actively involved in a brand-new community you already know how to get there or your browser remembers the URL.
Besides the excellent points brought up in the preexisting answer, note also that a list of communities is at the bottom of every page of the site.
