I also made a post collecting beginner guides for new lemmy users. Feel free to comment any new site and I’ll update the list.

      There is one more step once you found an community you’d like to subscribe to. Take the link to the community (something like https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/freemediaheckyeah ) and copy it into your home instance’s (the one you’ve made an account on) search page. for me it looks like this:

      Sometimes, it will say “No Results.” Just wait a view seconds, and maybe try to refresh. The server it mostly likely retrieving some posts and comments for the first time. Eventually, it will show up, click the result, and you’ll be directed to something like https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/[email protected] (with your home instance’s domain in place of mine) and you can subscribe from there.

    This website is great for looking at defederation: https://fba.ryona.agency/

    Mind you, it’s not quite perfect. Some instances aren’t on there yet - if you compare it with Lemmymap you’ll see that both are missing some things.

      Holy hell!! There’s a mastodon instance with 20342 defederations LMFAO. At this point it would be just easier to whitelist federations they like.

      Edit: turns out it’s a meme instance run by one person lol
