  • This is really good, thanks.

    However as a newcomer I thought I’d share some additional questions I still have, in the hope others have them too and a FAQ might be developed.

    My questions are around finding content and communities. I’m essentially trying to set up a decent feed for myself like many free reddit.

    • how do you follow a topic (rather than a person), reddit-style?
    • what does all the talk on instances federating and defederating mean?
    • is it normal or expected that you join multiple instances to get your content? I’m juggling a few, because I can’t work out how to follow topics.
    • And if you do have different user accounts across instances, is there a way to link your own user profile between them? To give others a single view, or to make it easier to juggle all my instances?
    • I’ve heard it’s technically possible to follow content on Lemmy from Mastodon, for example. Is that a good way to consume content from single app?

    Any guidance here would be appreciated, and it might lead to a better newcomer doc for others.

    Thanks!
