How is a fediverse user supposed to find communities? I can’t find a way to search across the fediverse, which pretty much kills the concept IMO. I was browsing All via Lemmy.world - Mlem - iOS and my feed is half anime porn, with some pictures depicting underage and others not blurred as NSFW.
Am I going about the fediverse all wrong? How do y’all deal with this? Right now the fediverse seems like a glitchy, overcomplicated 4chan.
Thanks all for the search suggestions! Will play around with them when I get some free time.
Does anybody know a good way to search for a community within an instance? Let’s say i find c/fake community on a non-world Lemmy instance. How do I pull that up from my account on Lemmy.World so i can subscribe to it?
For most you just search on lemmy.world and communities on other instances show up.
Otherwise use !community@instance to find something.Actually, just enter the url of the community in search… then it should find it and then you subscribe in the sidebar.
There are a few userscripts and browser extensions that massively help with this.
I use Lemmy Link, but here are some other lemmy extensions. And also check out this community, /c/plugins@sh.itjust.works
