Is there an orientation manual for Lemmy? Honestly, Lemmy isn’t even the first DDG result for Lemmy (the first result is the Motorhead founder).

What I really want to know is how to pull in forums from other servers because I’m used to a very curated firehouse of content from Reddit and Lemmy so far seems more about making do with what conversation and audience are available. I found a page from 3 years ago describing a somehwat programmery process to do so…

Also, is there a place to find similar reddit subs? My favorite sub on reddit was the subreddit NOT about literally fucking cars but about the importance of micromobility in a car-dominated landscape. Also: cats who look like Ron Perlman.

    There are typically 3 feeds:

    • Subscribed - this only shows posts from communities you have subscribed
    • Local - only posts from communities on your local or home instance, you may see post’s and comments from people on other instances, but all of the communities are on sh.itjust.works
    • All - this shows all posts from communities across any instance*
    • only posts from communities that a user on your home instance is subscribed to appear, also your instance can block instances. Those blocked instances will not appear.

    Re French: there is an instance called jlai.lu that is a French instance. You can check out their communities and subscribe for more French content.
