I just joined after Apollo stopped working. I’ve been over at squabbles since the black out. No idea how this place works. Excited to dig in and figure it out though!

welcome!

edit: just realized this isn't even my instance but w/e, welcome to the fediverse!

2 things that really helped me: https://browse.feddit.de/ to find communities then search in the communities tab with name like community@instance.name

if it doesn't pop up try typing !community@instance.name then community@instance.name again to see if it comes up

basically new communities wont show on your community search tab until someone else on your server has searched and subscribed or interacted

lemmyverse.net too!

If you aren’t sold on the interface then check out wefwef.app. No affiliation - just spreading the gospel. It feels like Reddit on Apollo, but here instead.

It’s worth it. If you’re on iOS try Memmy.

I’d strongly recommend Mlem if you liked Apollo.

I want to but the issue is I can’t find an ipa to sideload it on his GitHub and the TestFlights a full. EDIT: I spoke to soon it’s working!

Same—finally had to do the thing, and my god, finding communities to follow has GOT to get a lot easier if this is gonna work out

Which bit are you struggling with? Would be useful to know how it's looking from a newbie perspective so we can make our explanations more effective. Also, welcome! 😄

I’d strongly recommend Mlem if you were an Apollo user!
