I usually use lemmyverse.net or browse.feddit.de to look for new communities since it’s easier that way and so that I also see communities not yet federated with my instance. As far as I know for following users, that’s not possible, even in the actual Lemmy website instances.
Apart from that, if you want to browse or add new communities from the app, you can do that from the search tab.
Got it. Perhaps it’s the unfederated + my instance combination that is the hurdle that needs to be jumped to feel like a world wide community rather than a series of loosely connected silos. I’m happy with where I’m starting, but I picked an instance as an easy entry point. Thinking if I choose an instance too specific to one of my interests, I’d be limited to that topic specifically. I really just want it all to interconnect, and have seamless access to all. I know it’s new, and I’m new. I’ll be patient because this is what I’ve really wanted and I’ll wait for it to mature.
