Is there an orientation manual for Lemmy? Honestly, Lemmy isn’t even the first DDG result for Lemmy (the first result is the Motorhead founder).
What I really want to know is how to pull in forums from other servers because I’m used to a very curated firehouse of content from Reddit and Lemmy so far seems more about making do with what conversation and audience are available. I found a page from 3 years ago describing a somehwat programmery process to do so…
Also, is there a place to find similar reddit subs? My favorite sub on reddit was the subreddit NOT about literally fucking cars but about the importance of micromobility in a car-dominated landscape. Also: cats who look like Ron Perlman.
The fediverse is a better more searchable name. Because it isn’t just Lemmy, piefed, mastodon, mbin, miskey, pixelfed, or loops. Its all of them.
As for communities, its still early days. You often have to be the change you want to see.
Part of the charm is the friction, tho. Keeps out the riffraff. Though, I’m feeling about riffraffy on Voyager atm.
It’s definitely a more manigable cozy affair.
