There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.

Anyways, welcome! Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about anything lemmy related, feel free to ask!

Also, if you feel up to it, introduce yourself in the comments below!

edit: Here's a nice getting started guide for lemmy: https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2023/06/11/lemmy-migration-find-subreddits-communities/

That makes way more sense!

The only roadblock I see is how difficult it is to follow communities outside your main instance. It would be nice if there was a log-in-as option so you can easily subscribe if you come across a page that isn't a part of your instance. Right now you have to either search it on your main, or copy the url over (which I've seen doesn't work all the time, but could be because of server load.)

Mastodon makes it easy to follow someone on a different instance, so I expect it's only a matter of time that Lemmy adds that functionality (especially now with the influx of new users)

Yeah I find it a bit annoying, maybe a browser extension which adds a link to "view in home instance" is the way to go in the meantime. Seems like it would be really easy to do. 🤔

It’s easy with Mlem on iOS
