I want to find communities, so is there a community dedicated to finding communities?

    Don’t click the title, click the text starting wirh ! (like !linux@lemmy.ml) and paste it into search on lemmy.world. It will find that community and you can then click it and join.

    Edit: If others are reading this, you can click the home button and setup your home instance, that way the links will correctly go to your instance and the whole process is much better!

      Thank you! It worked, though quite cumbersome

        yes, unfortunately finding, joining and linking to other communities across instances kinda blows now, but given how new lemmy is i think that will improve over time!

        Yeah this feels like a big flaw in the systemyeah it’s cool it’s all communal, but being split is weird

        Casual users will just want a ‘subscribe’ like you do on Reddit. They’re not going to care about servers and instances and 3 different variations of the same community on different lemmys, that’s just a hurdle.

        I know this because nobody in my friend group has made the jump because it’s too confusing. I’m the usual tech-guy early adopter in the group but most of this has gone over my head too.
