Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)

    communities on other servers aren’t automatically and easily available.

    You may be aware but for others, on the main page you can change which communites are displayed. At the top, there is the option or Subscribed, Local, and All that’s only a single click/tap. (I do personally think the default should be All)

    • Subscribed shows you just the content from the communities you are following from any instance.
    • Local shows you the content from the communities only from the instance you’re currently viewing.
    • All shows you posts from the communities of all the instances that are federated with the instance you’re viewing from.

    From the list of posts, you can then select a community from a different instance (these will have the community name with something like @example.ml at the end) which will bring you to that instance. From there, you can select the “Communities” option from the menu and it will show you all the communities that are hosted on that instance.

      Also there should be an easier way to reply to posts on other boards. As it is now you have to subscribe, find the post, find the comment you want to reply to again, then reply. If you paste in a link it should detect board, post, and comment.

        You should be able to copy the link from the fediverse button (the rainbow Pentagon) and then paste it into the search on your instance.
