I'd actually like to see some sort of "advertisment-board" for both linkshells and FCs to make them easier to find.
Obviously totally optional - if the leader wants their FC/LS up there, they can register it and anyone whos looking for a FC/LS can venture to the nearest board (maybe have one in each city?), hit some filters (we already HAVE them for FCs - you can pick and choose what your FC focusses on and it will show on the FCs profile, but you cant search for it by any means) and find groups that match what they're looking for.
If you want to keep your FC/LS private, you dont need to register it.
I dont quite understand why you're talking about LS serving a different purpose than FCs - I mean, of course they do but its not as if LS are any easier to find than FCs (maybe save for shouting for a hunt-LS-invite after an A-rank died). Both can be potential social groups and I wouldnt discard LS just because FCs have even more benefits. Being able to find, for example, an Ex-primal-farm-LS can be just as helpful to someone as finding a new FC.
I think that would help both the annoying shouts and the blind-invites aswell with actually helping people to find a group that matches their intrests.

I actually looked around for one when I first started, was looking for message boards that advertised FCs to join, could've sworn there was one. But instead I had to either wait to hear someone shouting, await a blind invite, or advertise myself in forums.
