I don’t know how I never stumbled upon Lemmy before, I’ve been looking for a worthwhile alternative to Reddit for over a year now. Guess I wasn’t looking hard enough!

    How do you find these other instances on other servers? I’m an Apollo refugee I’m so confused how to find my way around the fediverse.

      There’s a search function for a lot of it. The easiest way to discover communities currently is https://browse.feddit.de, and you’ll want to copy the full URL of the community into your instance’s search bar, i.e. if you wanted to follow the Pokemon TCG community you’d search for https://lemmy.ml/c/pokemontcg and it should bring up the community from there.

      There’s a technical reason why that is, due to the way federated servers work, but i’ll defer to someone smarter than I for that explanation.
