Coming from reddit of course, I cannot figure out how to get to some of the communities I followed there. Either they don’t exist or I’m doing something wrong. Like I frequent r/android and r/SquaredCircle, r/movies, r/gaming, r/fossdroid just to name a few. Is there something similar here? Thank you!!
You should be able to go to the community browser (between messages and home) and just search for a community, for example “android”. It will then list communities that fit the search term sorted by number of subscribers.
If you see for example a community just called “android”, it means that the community is on the same instance as you are logged in. If you see something like “android@lemmy.ml”, it means it’s on a different server/instance called “lemmy.ml”.
It doesn’t really matter if you join a local community or one on a different server, so I would recommend you join the one with the biggest subscription numbers.
