    First I tried a few mobile apps, sticking with Sync for Lemmy for now.

    I also went to Sub.rehab, filtered by highest active users and subscribed to the communities I was interested in. Then subscribed to a few I was interested in even if it has a low amount of users.

    On your homepage, you have some options at the top for what to display.

    The first option is Subscribed/Local/All. The default is Local - change it to either Subscribed (If you like subscribing to communities) or All (If you prefer to just see everything). Keeping it on “Local” is a pretty poor way to use Lemmy - it’ll only show you posts from lemmy.world and never from any of the other Lemmy instances. This goes for when you’re searching for communities too - make sure you set the search to “All” and not “Local”.

    The second option is how to sort - with the default being “Active”. “Active” is a bit too slow to update for most people’s taste - you might find you like “Hot” a lot more. You can set the default for both of these options to whatever you want on your settings page.

    When browsing, if you find a certain community (subreddit) consistently puts posts in your feed that you don’t like, there’s a handy button to block that community if you go to it, in the top right.

    Past that, just do your best to be active - more active than you may have been on reddit, because Lemmy is a lot smaller. Upvote posts you like, comment on posts where you have something to add, and post things you find elsewhere.

    Search https://lemmyverse.net/communities for any communities you may be interested in. Many of them have the same or similar names to reddit subs. Also, subscribe to !newcommunities@lemmy.world. Once you have a few, flip your feed over to “subscribed” and browse your custom feed. Occasionally pop back into All to see if there are any other good ones you may have missed.

    If you hate the web version of lemmy like I do, check out the mobile apps, which tend to have a more reddit-like design.

    And once you’ve done all that, the only thing left to do it shitpost.

    Use old.lemmy.world

    And download an app like liftoff to make viewing easier.

    Go to all on the app, find your interests and subscribe to them. Then filter by subscriptions, so you don’t see a ton of stuff you don’t want to see.

      I go the other way and hide the communities I don’t want to see (e.g., I’m not into yiff). I do subscribe to ones I want to see, too, but mostly I view all with some filtered out. New communities are being developed every day and I might miss some with the subscribe method.

        O damn, I didn’t even know this! That’s awesome, is there a list to check out? I probably will stick with old.lemmy.world, but that’s cool that there are other layouts/looks.
