I just made a Piefed.social account today. I’m very familiar with reddit, but after the API changes and all the bullshit that’s been happening with the site lately I want something different. How do I see which communities I’m a part of, the equivalent of subreddits I guess? Where do I go to find new ones? Do I need to be in a singe instance to participate? I’d really like to find the Lemmy equivalent of my favorite subreddits from reddit, but I simply don’t know how to do that.
It’s pretty old. Feddit.de was replaced with feddit.org a while ago.
Yeah, this was a graphic I saw early on when I joined, and while useful at the time, it’s very outdated now and a bit too information dense to be effective for onboarding
For those not aware, Beehaw already had a community going before the API disaster brought a large amount of users to Lemmy. Once new instances popped up, and the overall userbase increased by something like 700%, they decided to defederate from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. Citing issues with scaling moderation efforts.
