Heck, took me a while to get on Lemmy when thinking about looking up then subbing to familiar communities, but then I found a list with links to equivalents for most of the ol’ Reddit stomping grounds, so it was just a matter of signing up then clicking through several hyperlinks, which was significantly easier!
