I want to find communities, so is there a community dedicated to finding communities?

        I was wondering what that home button did, that’s so cool! This tool is amazing.

      This seriously needs to implemented in lemmy already. Not being able to see the true member count/activity of all communities is a massive blow to discoverability and very anti-ux, and likely the biggest hurdle for newcomers.

        Yep, would be nice. No one expected the massive influx of users, though. This suddenly changed from something extremely niche to something a lot of users at least know about.

        IMO the biggest hurdle for newcomers is that everyone is going to lemmy.world and then it’s slow and everything and they think Lemmy is slow because they don’t understand how federation works (which is understandable, it’s the first time they’re seeing something like that).

          That’s another thing. People need to stop recommending the massive servers and recommend smaller ones like vlemmy.net, lemmy.one or lemm.ee instead, at lest until lemmy’soptimized for user counts of this scale. Those servers have also been upgraded for the surge of users after all, and everything’s connected anyway.

          In fact, I think lemmy clients should go as far as to assign new users randomly to good general servers like these upon registration so they don’t even have to know about instances; would make the onboarding much better

        I am yet to use the browser version so idk how it is natively, but in apps I believe that should be a feature added by the developers and being a toggle of some sort (and I’d say on by default)

      Noob here. When I click the link of a page there I am not logged in. How can I watch and reply to this from lemmy.world?
