Hello Lemmings (I have no idea what Lemmy users are called) I’m a reddit migrator. I’m still a little confused, but I’d like to learn. How do I find communities? If I want to discuss Warhammer or Steam games, or something like that, what’s the best way to find that content? If it matters I am on the phone app.

    If you found a community, for example via https://browse.feddit.de/, but get a 404 error when visiting it:

    Try searching for the community with a bang prefixed: [email protected]

    This will “discover” the community for your instance. When coming from a big instance like lemmy.world this is probably rarely necessary. Only one lemming has to discover a remote community to unlock it for all other lemmings on the same instance.

    But someone has to be the first, and that lemming must bang it.
