I want to find communities, so is there a community dedicated to finding communities?
Noob here. When I click the link of a page there I am not logged in. How can I watch and reply to this from lemmy.world?
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, thay way the links will correctly go to your instance and the whole process is much better!
You can also set your home instance and the links will open on the one that you choose. :)
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.
I’ve been using this userscript to redirect all links to my instance. If you’ve never installed a userscript, it’s pretty easy, you just need to install the Tampermonkey browser extension (there are others but it’s the one I use), then click the greasyfork link in the post I linked, and click install.
