There are directories like https://lemmyverse.net/communities but it’s not straightforward for new users to simply click on a community to join Are there any clients that have this onboarding workflow implemented well?
If you have the patience letting the drip of communities surface through your instances ‘all’ feed has been a good way to take in the growth.
I have an account I don’t normally comment from I leave all the memes unblocked for killing time, otherwise it’s been a lot of negative filtering and following interesting comments.
If you’re self hosting that’s a different problem.
Note that only communities someone on your instance has already subscribed to will appear in your “all” feed
This one let’s you choose the instance you are in so it makes the links open direct in that instance
I would recommend just going to All communities and clicking subscribe on everything you like.
Search on https://lemmyverse.net/communities
Thanks, is there a way to subscribe directly from that directory?
You can set your home instance in the settings. Then at least the links open the communities in your instance.
Avoids copying and pasting and manually searching at least.
