I wanted to get a pulse check on how new members are finding the general experience/website. Is it more confusing than Reddit or are you finding the instance system a better way of doing things as it can give you more freedom of where you choose to create an account?

I'm a new user myself but have found the experience to remind me of Reddit back in the day, lol. It's definitely giving me old-school yet modern vibes and it's great to see something that isn't Reddit growing in popularity!

Joined kbin and checking out Lemmy through feddit.it I have a questin though: I wanted to subscribe to a medicine community in a different server but I can't find it when I search through "all" communities in feddit.it. How do I go about finding and subscribing to it?

I'm new but let me tell you what I know so far.

First, you need to find the identifier for the community you want to follow (for example, the community we are in right now is [!asklemmy@lemmy.ml](/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml)) from the sidebar. Copy it, go to your instance (feddit.it) and paste it in the search field. You should find the community as a result there and a button to subscribe. Another alternative is to go to the link https://YOUR-INSTANCE/c/COMMUNITY-ID-WITHOUT-THE-BANG (example: feddit.it/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml). If it does not appear maybe this specific federation has perhaps been forbidden by the owner of feddit.it
