I really want Lemmy to work but I’m having a difficult time tracking different communities across different instances. It feels like I’m doing something wrong. I typically just land on the lemmy.world front page and scroll through there, and I see some interesting stuff, but I’d like to learn how to curate it a bit more

    As I understand it:

    Three of the filters on the front page are “subscribed”, “local” and “all.”

    Subscribed filtering is what you are looking for to have a curated front page.

    Local is a front page specific to posts on your registered instance [in my case, any sub instance (is that their name?) post from Lemmy.world]

    All is any Lemmy post across all instances

      You gotta subscribe more, it helps you and others on your instance. I do 2 things- sort by new/all and subscribe to anything interesting, but that’s only what others on your instance already subscribed to. The other thing is to use a search tool to find specific interests across instances, I came across this - https://lemmyverse.net/communities
