Hi, I’m new here, so sorry if this has been asked before.
I understand that Lemmy is supposed to be like a decentralised Reddit, but I’ve got a question about this; on Reddit, there is only one server, with subreddits on it, so there is only one r/Music, only one r/AskReddit, etc.
However, on Lemmy there are many servers; would this lead to a situation where many servers have repeats of the same popular communities or does this not happen in practice? Is there a good way for me to find communities across all federated instances? Thanks :)
I have a related question, maybe I can post it here - how would one go about finding “subreddits” on Lemmy? At this point I’m just sorting by “All” and seeing what comes up on my feed, subscribing to subs that I like. But if I wanted to search for something specific? Something that’s unlikely to pop up on it’s own?
Go to the communities tab, sort by all, then search for whatever it is you want.
There still isn’t an “official” way to do this, but there’s a neat browser at https://browse.feddit.de
Give it a shot!
Thanks!
