might help you.

Plugins and components can add additional icons. I am not sure how to find popular ones there. It might make sense to look at the plugins that are #included-in-core. So searching for something like [Code search results · GitHub](https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Adiscourse%2Fdiscourse+register_svg_icon+path%3A%2F%5Eplugins%5C%2F%2F&type=code) might work.
