The way Lemmy works right now is you search a community in your instance for it to then get shown, so you need to first discover that community from elsewhere. With that in mind, what are some growing communities that you discovered that could get some more love?
But if I want to subscribe to an instance on beehaw or kbin I need to have an account for those correct?
Nope, you only need one account. It works like email, it dosn’t matter if you’re on gmail, yahoo or fastmail, you can still send and receive emails from other providers. You can subscribe to communities on other instances and post comments or submit new posts regardless of which instance the community is on.
well, almost… your account can only see what its instance lets you, eg from where i’m posting from (lemmy.ml) i can see things on lemmygrad.ml but many instances, including the one you’re on sh.itjust.works, have blocked them.
