New user, signed up on an alternative. It isn't intuitive to add a community from another server. Got there eventually though!

We're rapidly reaching the point where enough of us have struggled and figured it out that we can teach the newbies as they arrive.

In theory, once your community grows it will be easier. The funkyness (funkiness?) comes when you're the first person on your server to try to add that community.

Funkiness.

Also, love your username. We're back in early internet territory

Yeah, it's so cool being able to snag a simple username.

Using Jerboa, I have no idea how to find communities from other servers (?). I just look for things in the search tab: "oh look, a gaming thing".

Took me a lil to figure out how to use this, initially signed up at kbin but federation is temporarily down there.
