Other than subscribing to communities, how else can I expand my feed some? I just started working with Lemmy over the weekend and I'd like to see comments from more than just the communities I subscribe to so that I can learn about others.

Lemmy.ninja provides the !communitysearchtips@lemmy.ninja community, which has walkthroughs on how to find content, how to subscribe to it, etc. It also does periodic curated reviews on communities and invites users to do the same.

I had been using lemmyverse.net to find communities.

[–] RotaryKeyboard@lemmy.ninja 3 points 1 year ago

Yep, that's what I use to find communities to write spotlight posts on. It's a good tool! I have even more tools listed in the Community Search Tips community. Check it out!

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !communitysearchtips@lemmy.ninja

Nope. Time to post proper links.

[–] RotaryKeyboard@lemmy.ninja 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's improper about the link I used? Does it work?

[–] j_roby@slrpnk.net 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

While the link you used works, it takes you out of your instance while on a browser, meaning you're not logged in on that tab. If you use the link format that the bot posted, you remain logged in and can interact with the page, allowing you to vote, subscribe etc.

[–] RotaryKeyboard@lemmy.ninja 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm glad you were here to provide the explanation that the bot should have provided. Thank you for taking the time.

[–] j_roby@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 year ago

No worries.

The bot could be more detailed but isn't wrong tho. Since the link you had posted is on your own instance, it would work normally for you and anyone else on yours. But for people on different instances, it doesn't.

You can set the feed to β€œall” and browse by β€œnew”.

I do this - instead of just following communities, I also block others to curate it. My blocked is significantly longer than followed

I've set my feed to new and browse by all as well.

[–] Edo78@feddit.it 2 points 1 year ago

I don't think it's even possibile. How do you propose such a feature to works like? Showing all the comments from all the post known to your instance (so showing ALL the posts)?

[–] hsl@wayfarershaven.eu 2 points 1 year ago

We just had a thread about this a few days ago, so removing under rule #4.
