So, yes, I am a reddit refugee. I have played around a bit in lemmy with liftoff & lemmy.world and so far it’s great.
What I’m really curious to know is what is the best way to to find active communities & join them?
If I wanted to find the most active Warhammer40k community, where would I start?
If it is on a different instance, can I still (in theory) fully interact (view, upvote, comment, post) with that community by subscribing to it from my lemmy.world account in liftoff?
If they have in some way federated/blocked lemmy.world, could I create an account directly on that instance, log into it in liftoff as an alt and swap between my accounts to have full access?
If it is 'shadow’banned/blocked/defederated/whatever, how would I tell?
Thank you in advance, I’ve really enjoyed trying to be active here so far and everyone has been super nice
Liftoff has a built in search tool. Just search for the community you might be interested in (it matches both title and description), select “communities”, and change the sorting to you liking (top (all time) sorts by subscriber count)
