Reddit refugee here - stumbled across Lemmy as it was mentioned in a comment on Artifact but intrigued by this format and communities!

Looking for tips as a brand new user to get the most out of it - any advice is welcome! I’m using Mlem which seems to be working pretty well so far.

I’m new to kbin and beehaw. I created an account in both, but I’m trying to see what space I want to make primary and delete my other. I like the layout of kbin, but I understand beehaw better. With kbin, I can’t tell how to see communities in other instances and subscribe to them. I can easily tell that on beehaw. Here, I get the feeling I’m only seeing local content. I can’t easily tell what instance someone else’s post came from.

Are magazines like communities? Can I see only the communities I’ve subscribed to, what instance they’re in, and browse only that content? I have a lot to learn.

You can follow the same content on Lemmy on kbin. So if you search for @community@beehaw.org (or wherever.tld) you can find what you're looking for and follow it. Same with @user@instance.tld

Magazines on kbin are communities on Lemmy. But you should be able to filter between subscribed and all. From all you can find other communities/magazines that you can follow.
