Hello everyone,
So, I learned about Lemmy through one of the subreddits I’m in participating in the blackout. I don’t really ‘get’ how to Lemmy yet but I like it here.
Is there any material for learning how do use Lemmy effectively? There’s a few things I’m not sure 'bout.
I’ve found some… instances(?), think that’s the right term, and would like to join. Do I have to re-create my account/create a new account for each or is there a way to connect my existing account to the new instance?
Is there a way to search for instances of a specific purpose rather than browse a listing of some number of instances?
The best way I’ve found- copy the url of the community you want to join, then go to your home instance, click the 3 bars menu top right, click the spyglass icon search, paste into the search text bar, search, it should provide a link to that community, click on that, then expand the “sidebar” button and click subscribe
Thanks, managed to grab the communities I really wanted… and a few more I found in the process!
