Right now we don’t have many communities in lemmy.studio because I’m hoping that people will step up organically to create and moderate them. If there’s anything in particular that you’re interested in, please go ahead and create a community for it!

In the meantime, if you want to follow communities from other Lemmy instances, it’s easy. Here’s how to do it:

1. Find the URL of the community, for example, https://lemmy.ml/c/musicproduction.
2. Go to the search page of this instance.
3. Search for the URL and be patient, it takes a few seconds to show up, even though it will say “No results” at first.
4. Click the result. It should take you to https://lemmy.studio/c/musicproduction@lemmy.ml.
5. Subscribe to the community.

You can also use this to interact with posts in other instances without having to subscribe. Search for the post, click the result, and interact. As long as you’re in the lemmy.studio domain you’ll be able to vote, comment, post, etc.

An important detail: in your profile make sure you have the “Undetermined” language selected (in addition to other languages you speak). Many posts and comments have their language set to “Undetermined”, and you won’t see them unless you’ve set that option.
