Reddit sucks, but back in the long long ago started by being a link repost website.

      you can find that bot and follow it. or just create an account on lemmy.online and you’ll see tons of it by default.

        I feel a bit thick but I can’t seem to find @bot@lemmy.online, !@bot@lemmy.online, or lemmy.online for that matter. Basically I’ve no idea how to follow a user. I can find communities fine, but yep, struggling here.

          finding users and communities across instances can be tricky, as those lists (users, communities) have to sync between instances, and that can take time. i can’t find it, either.

          lemmy is still a bit wonky, and not everything works like it should right now. an APi update is coming an about a week

          Find the specific community you want in browser, copy url, paste in your lemme.ee search a few times and it should take a little to start recognizing it. Subscribe.
