Is there a way to curate a front page?
I really want Lemmy to work but I’m having a difficult time tracking different communities across different instances. It feels like I’m doing something wrong. I typically just land on the lemmy.world front page and scroll through there, and I see some interesting stuff, but I’d like to learn how to curate it a bit more
Try this: go into your user settings, change Type from Local to Subscribed and Sort type from Active to Hot.
Then click on Communities on the top bar, switch the list from Local to All, and find communities you're interested in, you can also search for specific names.
Avoid names ending in @beehaw.org if you see them, they defederated us so we can't interact with them anymore.
When you find something you like, click on the community name to go to their page, on the right you'find the Subscribe button.
After you subscribed to enough communities, close lemmy and open it again, see if it's a bit better that way.
I keep seeing people mention clicking on Communities, but I don't see that. Am I missing something?
My top bar has "All, Subscribed, Moderated, Favorites, and then a bunch of magazine suggestions. I don't see Communities anywhere.
Edit: Just noticed that this is a Lemmy threaed, is it because I am looking at it via kbin and the communities tab is only in Lemmy? This fediverse thing will take some getting used to.
Yeah, I'm not sure why this thread is showing (to me) as being on kbin.social, but I assume it's actually on a Lemmy instance since OP asked about the Lemmy UI.
On Kbin you can click on the burger menu and then "magazines", or just go to /magazines
Oh sorry, didn't notice you were on kbin, magazines are the equivalent of lemmy communities.
On the top bar next to kbin logo there should be "Threads, Microblog, People, Magazines", subscribe works the same.
