I told somebody I know who knew about Reddit’s API changes about Lemmy. He has a master’s degree in Computer Science and works as a software engineer. But then, he told me that it’s too confusing to get into, even for someone like him. This is great feedback and I hope that these issues will be fixed in the coming months.

      Subscribing to communities is kind of a pain in the ass if you aren’t looking for anything specifically. I went page by page, because I have a problem - but damn, can we get some sort of sorting, at least alphabetically? I’m sure I missed some communities because there’d be some shifting/refreshing between me subbing to something and then moving on to the next page. I’d also love for a tick box that you could toggle “don’t show subscribed” when browsing to make finding newer communities and instances easier. Locally, it’s much more manageable, but once you go over to All…
