The official lemmy documentation isn't very user-friendly I believe!

No need to get into how the fediverse works for now - suffice to say there are a bunch of other servers with existing communities set up, and you can connect to them from here with your startrek.website account.

Searching them from this website is a tiny bit tricky - if you're the first person here to search for it, it won't show up because that server hasn't connected to this server.

Searching communities

Go to https://lemmyverse.net/communities, you'll see a long list sorted by the most active.

Joining communities

Joining take a bit more than a "subscribe" button, but it isn't too hard.

Under the community name, there's a string with an exclamation mark. For example, the top "Technology" community has "[email protected]" under it.

Copy that string.

Now replace the exclamation mark in front with "startrek.website/c/" and paste it in your browser.

So for the same community ( [email protected] ), it would be:

startrek.website/c/[email protected]

Remember to remove the exclamation mark!

If you're the first person to connect, the subscriber stats are all wrong (and some posts may not load). Subscribe and give it 10-15 minutes and refresh. I've seen subs jump from 6 subscribers and 0 comments on every post, to 300+ subscribers and 20+ comments on each post.

Once you subscribe, other people can find the community more easily on the "All" page here. So you're getting more content, AND you're helping others find more communities!

Here's a few I like:

startrek.website/c/[email protected] > to see what new communities others have created

startrek.website/c/[email protected] > gardening focused

startrek.website/c/[email protected] > there's probably an iphone one too

startrek.website/c/[email protected]

startrek.website/c/[email protected] > if you liked /r/maliciouscompliance

startrek.website/c/[email protected] > if you liked /r/anarchychess
