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 grateful for everyone’s informative replies 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.

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!
