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.
I like lemmings, lol. It’s cute.
Also lemmyverse.net
I just found out about this one, and it seems like by far the best one to me. Sorting, and you can set your home instance to make it easier to subscribe. Which… honestly how is that the other options don’t have that stuff?
I got you fam:
If you don’t have any specific content that you want, set your feed to All and sort by Hot or Top Day. Scroll it and if something sparks your interest go to the community where the post was made and subscribe.
If you are interested in specific topics, click search and type the keyword. In Jerboa search function only looks for communities, based on keyword, but in website you can set search to either posts, comments etc.
This way I found 1 Warhammer community.
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.
Good to know! I imagine that will save me a headache in the future. Also,

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Lemmings?
Lemmings is absolutely delightful! Like, it is vaguely insulting sounding, but it’s cheeky and I hope it becomes an accepted term.
Being named after a suicidal herd animal might backfire.

i consider myself a lemming now
- search on here https://browse.feddit.de/
- hit the copy button and go to your lemmy tab that has you signed in and search for that url you copied (I open that community in a new tab)
- sometimes it takes a few trys hitting the search button for it to show up
- then hit the community name on the sidebar if the subscribe button doesnt load a proper button to click
- then if it says subscription pending just hit it and hit subscribe again, repeat until it says Joined-
