In the Voyager app, is there a way to browse a lemmy's list of communities and subscribe to them?
Hi all, after 15 years on the other site, I’m relatively new to Lemmy and still trying to figure things out
I want to have an account in one Lemmy (e.g, Lemmy.world) , but be able to browse a different Lemmy such as lemmy.ml, see it’s communities and subscribe to some of them
That’s what I did. I made a couple trips there on my laptop and subscribed to shit tons of communities all at once, and of course they them show up on your phone. I don’t know for the life of me why someone doownvoted you. It’s the best, most efficient way to do it outside of using another app.
Yeah discoverability is an issue I have as well. Also, feel it’s an issue on mastodon too.
For now, I just browse All and see what communities pop up. Or, I do searches for topics I’m interested in. Lemmy is still fairly new so, niche communities don’t always have the biggest followings.
There isn’t a list of communities you can pore through. You will find that feature from the official lemmy site of your instance though. On there you have an communities option(?) where you can see subscribed, local and all communities.
Voyager does have a very good search feature to search for specific communities.
Not really. There is the migration tool that basically searches your old subreddits to see if there are matches but you’re not going to find a lot of niche stuff. You can search for communities or just look at all communities and browse and see what’s up, that’s been helpful. Some of the larger subreddits will be easy to find with the migration tool
Yes, it’s possible to search for communities from various instances as your asking. Just tap the search icon 🔍 at the bottom. Type what you’re interested, Technology for example, and then underneath the search field tap Communities with technology.
This will display a list of communities with technology in the name from various instances.
