When coming from reddit, one has a list of subreddits and is probably looking for similar communities. Could we help that search somehow? It is harder than on reddit because matching communities are distributed across multiple instances.
Would it make sense to maintain an awesome list? Or a separate community “looking for community”?
Lemmy newbie here. There are infinite number of kbin or lemmy instances so there are infinite number of local communities with the same name such as “video” or “technology”.
How do I know which one(s) to subscribe? If i don’t, the remote communities won’t federate to my server.
Right now it’s a bit wild west, but I think for now the best is to just sub to the “most active” community and let that become the “main” community
If theres no obvious most-active one, just sub to both/all and see which one emerges
