Hi all, I’m new here. On Reddit there is the front page where I can find popular posts even in obscurely named subreddits like “leopardsatemyface” or “okbuddycinephile” that I could never find by actively searching for it.

How do you discover content on Lemmy that is not in your local instance?

I even tried subscribing to “leopardsatemyface” from Lemmy.world, but my app doesn’t even show it in the search results even when actively looking for it. 🤨

Please help 🙈

Also if you don’t mind another stupid question, when I subscribe to a community it is first shown as “pending” and only a few minutes later as “joined” - why? What is it waiting for?

    What app are you using? I know on the website version you can just select ‘All’ on the interface at the top where it says Subscribed/Local/All.
