On a whim tonight I just went to https://join-lemmy.org/ from a reddit post, looked at the list of servers, found lemmy.world accepting logins, created an account, and here I am. Was super painless/fast. BUT, now to figure out how to sub to communities and setup my feed!
Open the search and you can find a community using the search field. To search for communities specifically it’s: !community-name@instance-name. Then it will show that community as a search result, and from your instance you can subscribe to it. No need to go make a new user on every instance you want to sub to one of their communities.
It’s all new, if a bit confusing, but I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it like I did with Aim, Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and now Lemmy.
So far, so confused 😕
Same. Took several days to get accepted to an accoun/server/instance thingie. Now Im in and super con fused.

Yeah I don’t understand how to search for subreddits. I also don’t know how this is structured… And there’s no clear way to explore and figure it out

No problem! Happy to make using lemmy easier.
