People are bashing Lemmy in this thread. Did you also find Lemmy confusing at first? (old.reddit.com)

I thought I understood it at first but then I got confused when I visited other instances, but I think I get it now

edit: okay I'm still confused on how the search works

I'm just an hour or so into this, but this video helped me:
https://youtu.be/K8fBSrhHrE8
And this search page mentioned in the above video:
https://browse.feddit.de/
And here is another page to discover communities:
https://browse.feddit.de/
The main thing I've realized is that if you visit these communities on other instances, you will not be logged in and so you can't subscribe. What you have to do is copy the URL and paste it into this instance's search function. It may take a second for the search to complete, but you should see that community in the results. Click on the result and you will see that you are logged in and that you can subscribe.
