Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)
It’s been pretty decent so far but the fact that I can’t easily browse all available communities across all servers really limits the amount of discovery I can do.
Have you tried the community browser yet?
This was really useful for me to find new communities but trying to subscribe to them via the server I joined was a bit awkward. They needed to be in a “!asklemmy@lemmy.ml” format to search and subscribe to them but the browser only gives you the link in https:// format. Not a big deal but probably not something a less tech savvy person could figure out easily.
Actually, the full URL is pretty easy to use if you know what you’re doing (which of course, everybody is trying to figure out right now).
Just switch the search from “Community” to “All”. Image from another thread
