Hello everyone,

So, I learned about Lemmy through one of the subreddits I’m in participating in the blackout. I don’t really ‘get’ how to Lemmy yet but I like it here.

Is there any material for learning how do use Lemmy effectively? There’s a few things I’m not sure 'bout.

I’ve found some… instances(?), think that’s the right term, and would like to join. Do I have to re-create my account/create a new account for each or is there a way to connect my existing account to the new instance?

Is there a way to search for instances of a specific purpose rather than browse a listing of some number of instances?

    Alight, thank you… but how?

    This isn’t strait-forward to me, it seems like whenever I’m in a tab on a different instance to be able to see a community I’m interested in I’m not logged into my account and can’t see the communities from tabs that are.

      The best way I’ve found- copy the url of the community you want to join, then go to your home instance, click the 3 bars menu top right, click the spyglass icon search, paste into the search text bar, search, it should provide a link to that community, click on that, then expand the “sidebar” button and click subscribe

        Thanks, managed to grab the communities I really wanted… and a few more I found in the process!
