If you’re interested in something, do you since up for more than one instance in that topic? For example, if I want to read about Apple related stuff, would I want to sign up for a few different Apple subreddits or just one?
subreddits
We ain’t in Kansas anymore! They’re officially called communities or comms for short over here.
It usually helps to subscribe to more than one, especially if it’s something simple like Apple comms, but you don’t need to sign up for a new account just to subscribe to communities on other instances. Also no point in subscribing to all the dead ones with no posts in months, but I’m subscribed to some technology comms on both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world and they both get posts. (There might even be some users who are only able to see one of those comms because their instance blocked another instance, so that’s a reason why one of those comms might not become the only one everyone is using.)
There are a few exceptions like /c/196 or politics subs where different ones have different-enough rules and moderation where it might actually matter which one you subscribe too, but for general interests, might as well just sub to them all because the worst case is they just don’t add any extra posts to your feed.
Sort by hot.
Click on the menu, hit communities, and go subscribe to all the ones you’re interested in. Also https://lemmyverse.net/communities for finding communities on other instances you want to subscribe to.
Most claims people make of others and other communities are highly personal and likely not true unless for specific circumstances
Classic example are the few people who go around flaming inter-community drama in comments, then someone else replies showing that poster had recently been banned from that community and clearly deserved it. Modlog ftw.
It’s rare, and mostly the same people, but I see it about a dozen times a year.
You can not post videos on lemmy you can only link to them. I just learned about catbox.moe to upload videos
