EDIT: After reading some posts on the topic, i agree that “communities” is preferable to “sublemmies” so i changed it.
Why YSK: it’s convenient but there’s no “my communities” button that makes it totally obvious, so if you are like me and get confused by anything not totally obvious, you should know these two ways to see a list of your communities:
-
Click “communities” on the home page. In the “Subscribed / Local / All” button, click “Subscribed”. HA! That was almost totally obvious!
-
Click your user name on the main page, then in the drop-menu click “profile”. Your subscribed communities appear on the right.
We should probably call them communities because, well, that’s what they are so we don’t confuse the noobs. Also, I want to emphasize that this definitely isn’t reddit
Subreddits are called communities in Lemmy. Sublemmy sounds fun though
Yeah, after i submitted that post i saw a discussion about “sublemmies” versus “communities”. Actually, i never thought of “sub-something” as a Reddit thing, but i guess it is. I think “communities” sounds better. I’ll use it in future.
Sub-something is as much of Reddit as downvote/upvote, so pretty much nothing at all. I find people that argue that being a downside to be a little silly.

OR… kinky?
As someone still finding their way around here I’m loving all these YSK posts about navigating Lemmy. Thank you all…
Agree, somewhat confusing at first but it’s coming together with time
Thank you. This is very helpful info to us newbies!
If your on a browser, you can also go to lemmy.world home page and scroll down a bit, on the right part of the page, below the box containing the description of the server, there’s another box listing all the communities you’re subscribed to.
you can also go to lemmy.world home page
The home page of whatever instance you made your account on.

if i look at my own profile while logged in, all of my subscriptions show in a column on the right side of the page. but if i look at your profile i see none of your subscriptions, presuming that you have some; the right-side of your profile is blank to me. the only thing i’ve seen so far in another person’s profile on the right-side column is what communities they moderate. so it seems to me that our subscriptions are rather private.

good question. wish I knew the answer
Still trying to figure out what “local” means
I believe “local” refers to posts on the instance you’re registered on, while “all” includes posts from federated instances
thank you. makes sense
