I’m sorry, is this the place to ask? Are they just called “communities”? Not sub…lemmys?
I wanted to curate something like old-Reddit for my front-page but I’m having trouble finding any sidebar lists of related communities. Do I just have to search and add each one individually if they’re here? Does it matter if it’s ‘local’ or ‘all’?
I’m using Connect for the moment. Thanks in advance!
EDIT - you guys are awesome!
I’m in the same boat as you. First thing I recommend is getting an app for it (I’m using connect, and loving it). Then just going through ‘all’ and subbing to what you like, and blocking what you don’t. It’ll take a while to curate it to your liking, but so did reddit.
I’ve got Jerboa on Android but it’s the same experience from the website. Find the community search and just type something in. You’ll see multiple instances of the same topic. I just subbed to every single one. I also chose an instance that didn’t block any other instance. Some instances attract certain kinds of people and then instances start blocking each other. So I chose one that didn’t block anything because I want that choice for myself.
That’s fair. I don’t fully understand the whole “instance” thing, but I’ve heard some block more than others.
