Fedi.tips - A comprehensive guide for Fediverse and Mastodon. Useful for Lemmy aswell.

I will update this list if any new guide is made so you can save this post for later. Also, if anyone has any good guide to add post it in the comments and I'll add it here.

Yeah but you have to have an IT degree to subscribe to something. Even on that website we can’t just hit “subscribe”

you basically have to find the !community@domain string, then copy it and paste it back into your home instance search field & search for it, then navigate to it from your home instance to subscribe to it.

it's very cumbersome but it does work. perhaps things will change in the future, or maybe not.
