    1. On desktop browser you can see list of your subscribed communities on the front page of the instance, below the sidebar (you can collapse the sidebar). On mobile you can expand the Subscribed list. You can also click your name in upper right corner and choose profile. Your communities are on the side (desktop) or bottom (mobile).
    2. You can search for communities either by their name, using the !community@instance syntax (for example, !memmy@lemmy.ml) or by the community’s URL (for example, https://lemmy.ml/c/memmy). That last option usually works, when the other two might fail. If the community is not yet federated with your instance, you can wait a few seconds/moments, and the instance might pop-up in to the search results. Or search again later.









  • Some communities have bots that copies posts from Reddit. Some do that so there would be more content in Lemmy. Those bots probably don’t break any rules set by the Admins of those instances.

    Personally I don’t like that content is being copied without the permission of those who made the posts in Reddit. Also, in some cases it sort of defies the whole point of the community. For example, one of the Explain Like I’m Five communities has a bot like that. The bot includes a link to the original post. Why would anyone reply to the bot’s post, when you can just read the explanation from the original post? That doesn’t help make Lemmy more active place when a bot posts things and no human ever replies to them.





  • There’s been some reports that Reddit is removing posts that say “fuck u/spez” or have some picture of spez.

    Also moderators aren’t allowed to comply with the results of those votes that some subs have held recently. So, if they change their sub to private or restricted, they break some rule, even though their users wanted that. And if they open the sub to rules voted by their users, they also break some rule.
