It's all new, if a bit confusing, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it like I did with Aim, Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and now Lemmy.
So far, so confused π
On a whim tonight I just went to https://join-lemmy.org/ from a reddit post, looked at the list of servers, found lemmy.world accepting logins, created an account, and here I am. Was super painless/fast. BUT, now to figure out how to sub to communities and setup my feed!
Yeah I don't understand how to search for subreddits. I also don't know how this is structured... And there's no clear way to explore and figure it out
Open the search and you can find a community using the search field. To search for communities specifically itβs:
!community-name@instance-name. Then it will show that community as a search result, and from your instance you can subscribe to it. No need to go make a new user on every instance you want to sub to one of their communities.OMG. Thank you.
No problem! Happy to make using lemmy easier.
This is exactly why I'm worried that this'll just die off and reddit will keep chugging along. This is not nearly user friendly enough to beat out reddit
