I know people are confused about how fediverse works and how to use it. This is an attempt to compile a list of beginner’s guides made by some amazing people on this topic.

I will update this list if any new guide is made so you can save this post for later. Also, if anyone has any good guide to add post it in the comments and I’ll add it here.

        Yeah but you have to have an IT degree to subscribe to something. Even on that website we can’t just hit “subscribe”

          you basically have to find the !community@domain string, then copy it and paste it back into your home instance search field & search for it, then navigate to it from your home instance to subscribe to it.

          it’s very cumbersome but it does work. perhaps things will change in the future, or maybe not.

      Once a community is searched by someone, they should be in the communities > All section. But yeah finding brand new communities is hard.
