    Still trying to figure out how get subreddit equivalents set up. Everything on my home page is the same “fuck soez” message.

      Go to “communities”, select “all” and search for the subreddit equivalents you want. Then you can subscribe to them - their posts will be visible when you browse by “subscribed” on the main page. “Subscribed” is basically the equivalent of “Home” on reddit.

        Make sure to set your subscribed communities as your default view if you get tired of seeing the same local posts from your instance.

      I’m getting older, so my speed at picking up new tech is a little slower than it used to be, but I’m finding my footings.

      From my limited interaction so far, I think what also happens is that there are lot’s of different servers to connect to, and each server can have it’s own “sub-reddit” which are called communities. For example, lemmy.world might have a “showerthoughts” community, but another server like “sh.itjustworks” can also have a “showerthoughts” community. When you subscribe to a community, you subscribe to that servers instance… so depending on which server community you subscribe to, might not be the most active one. at least that’s how I have pieced it together. Please someone correct me if I am waaaaaaaay off!
