However as a newcomer I thought I’d share some additional questions I still have, in the hope others have them too and a FAQ might be developed.
My questions are around finding content and communities. I’m essentially trying to set up a decent feed for myself like many free reddit.
how do you follow a topic (rather than a person), reddit-style?
what does all the talk on instances federating and defederating mean?
is it normal or expected that you join multiple instances to get your content? I’m juggling a few, because I can’t work out how to follow topics.
And if you do have different user accounts across instances, is there a way to link your own user profile between them? To give others a single view, or to make it easier to juggle all my instances?
I’ve heard it’s technically possible to follow content on Lemmy from Mastodon, for example. Is that a good way to consume content from single app?
Any guidance here would be appreciated, and it might lead to a better newcomer doc for others.
This is really good, thanks.
