new to fediverse, new to Lemmy, new to sh.itjust.works
Anyone want to critique my approach? I'm trying to find and join federated communities to engage with through jerboa app...
For others reading along, I learned a good way to find communities is:
1)browse to http://browse.feddit.de and search for communities by title (“NFL”, “broncos”, “NFCN_meme_war”). This is to make sure you’re seeing if your desired community exists somewhere in the fediverse.
3)search by the title again (not the url that feddit.de let’s you copy… Don’t know why)
4)click the link to the community, it opens in your browser
5)click the sidebar link, click subscribe
6)now you can log into your app (for me it’s jerboa for Lemmy) and see posts from those communities in your subscribed feed!
This seems arduous, and it is, but it’s just because I’ve been reading that search for communities in jerboa isn’t functional yet, because we’re all so new! It’ll likely get better soon
