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.

Nope. Time to post proper links.

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 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.

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 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.
