This is my first venture into the fediverse. Confusing at first, but all the guides are helpful. I'm still unsure how to subscribe to communities I'm interested in
I think you just search the community name, if it is on your instance it will show up as community name otherwise it will show up as
<community name>@<instance name>likegaming@lemmy.ml.But in your instance or not, it will not make a difference for your experience, all you need to do is click subscribe, and it will show up in your feed.
I'm still looking for a way to search for all communities on an instance and all instances (ideally with user counts).
I think this is what you are looking for: https://the-federation.info/platform/73
I don't know if it is "all the instance", but it is a good amount.
And you can see the communities by typing
<instance URL>/communities, like https://beehaw.org/communitiesNeat thanks!
