I wanted to get a pulse check on how new members are finding the general experience/website. Is it more confusing than Reddit or are you finding the instance system a better way of doing things as it can give you more freedom of where you choose to create an account?
I’m a new user myself but have found the experience to remind me of Reddit back in the day, lol. It’s definitely giving me old-school yet modern vibes and it’s great to see something that isn’t Reddit growing in popularity!
Joined kbin and checking out Lemmy through feddit.it I have a questin though: I wanted to subscribe to a medicine community in a different server but I can’t find it when I search through “all” communities in feddit.it. How do I go about finding and subscribing to it?
I’m new but let me tell you what I know so far.
First, you need to find the identifier for the community you want to follow (for example, the community we are in right now is
!asklemmy@lemmy.ml) from the sidebar. Copy it, go to your instance (feddit.it) and paste it in the search field. You should find the community as a result there and a button to subscribe. Another alternative is to go to the linkhttps://YOUR-INSTANCE/c/COMMUNITY-ID-WITHOUT-THE-BANG(example: feddit.it/c/[email protected]). If it does not appear maybe this specific federation has perhaps been forbidden by the owner of feddit.itAttention,
I remind you that to facilitate our work as administrators of the feddit.it instance, this is expressly reserved for Italian-speaking users. if your reference language is English, I therefore advise you to cancel your account and create one in an English-speaking instance
The only two communities that deal with medicine are these: https://lemmy.ml/c/medicine and https://mander.xyz/c/medicine
In any case, you can monitor any new communities of your interest with the tool made available by the administrators of feddit.de https://browse.feddit.de/
