use wefwef.app ! just like apollo. i hardly skipped a beat moving over and browsing all
This is my dream set up. Absolutely gorgeous!!! Half nature half tech
Thank you so much for the breakdown. I’m gonna reference back to this a lot while i try to wrap my head around this new space. I’m shocked at the amount of informative replies i’ve received and your guys’ good-spirited attitude towards reddit transplants like myself.
I was a long time reddit lurker but I feel compelled to post and it’s responses like yours that made me feel comfortable doing so.
TLDR: Thank you so much to everyone who broke it down for me. I’m having lots of fun in this space because of y’all and I am so excited to continue contributing to it.
What is an instance? what is a federation? what is a server? can someone please describe in simple terms how this all runs and how we as users navigate it?
Hey! I’m an apollo user and quit reddit for life after the you know what. I don’t fully understand this platform quite yet either — but web apps like wefwef.app have made the transition easier for me. I created an account on an instance called lemmy.world (<- that is a full URL that you can copy and paste and join from on a browser) and searched for “subfeddits” using the wefwef.app search function.
i also found a few communities using : https://browse.feddit.de/
all this to say that i’m right there with you and i hope that this helps. There are more ways to find communities and I’m sure others will help you as well!
