In lemmy you need to go to a community finder and find communities you want then you copy their link and paste it in your home instance search bar and hit follow. With email you need to search the web for a sites email list then paste your email in their and say you want to receive their email

Can we use dog buttholes instead of cat buttholes

Don’t typograh so small

I don’t know what I just read but my brain hurts a little

That’s where an air fryer comes in, or just a toaster oven

That looks amazing

Looks amazing!

I usually add new communities while logged in on the browser, I just copy the URL into the search bar. I mostly use tools like https://www.search-lemmy.com/

https://browse.feddit.de/

Lol I ordered it once at a restaurant and it wasn’t stinky, but it just tasted like not well cooked beans to me

I think the best part of federation is there are no islands, you can make an account on an instance and follow content from the rest of the fediverse, you can even host your own instance just for you and follow everything else

Over hard is the way to go

oh right sorry Ive been using the PWA through firefox and on the desktop, I forget to check what community im in when I find posts while browsing

just go to an instance, click communities, then click local https://lemmy.ml/communities?listingType=Local this shows the communities that are local to lemmy.ml from my understanding

if you just want to search for new communities to subscribe to then check out https://browse.feddit.de/ from there you just copy the link and paste it into your instance search bar, hit search a few times if it doesnt show up. then when it does I usually open that community in a new tab, you will have to hit subscribe a few times if it stays as pending, just keep hitting subscribe until it says joined. if the subscribe button doesnt load for whatever reason Ive had luck clicking the name of the community so it reloads and usually the subscribe button shows up correctly
