    On your homepage, you have some options at the top for what to display.

    The first option is Subscribed/Local/All. The default is Local - change it to either Subscribed (If you like subscribing to communities) or All (If you prefer to just see everything). Keeping it on “Local” is a pretty poor way to use Lemmy - it’ll only show you posts from lemmy.world and never from any of the other Lemmy instances. This goes for when you’re searching for communities too - make sure you set the search to “All” and not “Local”.

    The second option is how to sort - with the default being “Active”. “Active” is a bit too slow to update for most people’s taste - you might find you like “Hot” a lot more. You can set the default for both of these options to whatever you want on your settings page.

    When browsing, if you find a certain community (subreddit) consistently puts posts in your feed that you don’t like, there’s a handy button to block that community if you go to it, in the top right.

    Past that, just do your best to be active - more active than you may have been on reddit, because Lemmy is a lot smaller. Upvote posts you like, comment on posts where you have something to add, and post things you find elsewhere.
