Anyone want to critique my approach? I'm trying to find and join federated communities to engage with through jerboa app...
For others reading along, I learned a good way to find communities is:
1)browse to http://browse.feddit.de and search for communities by title (“NFL”, “broncos”, “NFCN_meme_war”). This is to make sure you’re seeing if your desired community exists somewhere in the fediverse.
2)log into your account at a place like http://www.beehaw.org (for me it is http://sh.itjust.works)
3)search by the title again (not the url that feddit.de let’s you copy… Don’t know why)
4)click the link to the community, it opens in your browser
5)click the sidebar link, click subscribe
6)now you can log into your app (for me it’s jerboa for Lemmy) and see posts from those communities in your subscribed feed!
This seems arduous, and it is, but it’s just because I’ve been reading that search for communities in jerboa isn’t functional yet, because we’re all so new! It’ll likely get better soon
sadly... yes. I'm just not finding the community here that I built up there over 11 years. I know, I know, give this 11 years and we'll get there, too... but it's still over there.
I did the whole "delete all comments and posts and replace with the API reasoning text" thing, for my main and my few alts. BUt I find I still am heading over there on browser through old.reddit and lurking.
