When talking vrc worlds, there are “PC only” and “Cross-platform” (this means Quest standalone can access them)
Here are 3 cross-platform worlds you can favourite right now, on your device
-
Elysium by VenusSX

When in VR, go to Worlds > Favourite Worlds > click on world and click Make Home to set the world as your home.

How to join groups and represent them
