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/

i should have added it here a while ago!

Oh... so you need to search directly on other instances to find communities. Hmm... bit of a shot in the dark there, but I'll give it a try. Thank you for the guidance!

yeah, basically. if no one from this instance is subscribed to a remote community then it won't show up in the search.

Hold up, so if anyone as a member of this instance has subscribed to any community outside of this instance, it becomes searchable from within this instance, while if the community is entirely unknown within this instance, you need to find it 'out there' somewhere and subscribe whereupon you're good (and it can then be found by any member of this instance)? That's my understanding based on this discussion, anyway. :)
