    Go to the communities page for your instance, set it to all, and scroll through the first several pages adding anything that sounds interesting. Don’t worry if there are duplicates, sub them all. The search for any favorite topics and add those communities, too. Then browse by subscribed»new going forward.

    You can also check out [email protected] for communities still getting off the ground.

    Oh! And when linking, do it like I did above; this link works no matter what instance you’re on.

    If you are using your phone, get one of the mobile apps (Voyager, Liftoff, Infinite, Connect or Sync for Lemmy) and then use it just as with reddit. You already have created your account, thus chosen your instance, which is the biggest ‘This is different’ topic.

        Ok so I know Jerboa has it’s fans, and I’m sure I’m going to get downvoted for this. But.

        In my opinion, Jerboa has the worst interface of all of the lemmy apps that are out, and should not be promoted to new users.

        I said it. Bring on the downvotes. It hurts because in your hearts you also know it is true.

          I’ve used Jerboa and Liftoff and Jerboa is much better. What do you use? What specific things make it better?

            I was using Connect, and am now using Sync.

            To be honest, I don’t remember the specifics of Jerboa. I remember it feeling very utilitarian though. Not terrible for some people, I understand that. It just felt like it was designed by programmers, if that makes sense.

            I prefer a more white-space centric design. Cards, material design, with gesture based controls. Connect actually does that well, but I think Sync might be coded better differently, because it feels a lot more smooth. No jankiness. It doesn’t feel like a web app.

            I kinda threw a lot of concepts out there, hopefully some of that made sense haha.

            Also, I don’t mean to say that people who like Jerboa are somehow wrong - you like what you like and I’m glad you have something that you like :D.

              Just tried Connect and Liftoff and both were bad compared to Jerboa. On one I couldn’t even figure out how to down vote. I think I’ll wait a few more months and try out the competition again.

    Search https://lemmyverse.net/communities for any communities you may be interested in. Many of them have the same or similar names to reddit subs. Also, subscribe to [email protected]. Once you have a few, flip your feed over to “subscribed” and browse your custom feed. Occasionally pop back into All to see if there are any other good ones you may have missed.

    If you hate the web version of lemmy like I do, check out the mobile apps, which tend to have a more reddit-like design.

    And once you’ve done all that, the only thing left to do it shitpost.
