Any of y’all transfer on over to lemmy? I remember when I first found that subreddit, blew my mind that so many others used Futurama to fall asleep. I had found my people.

      I tried searching for a community when I first joined lemmy, admittedly that was only a couple days ago. However, I couldn’t find one. I think I struggle the most with this part of lemmy. The finding of communities feels a bit cumbersome to me and could be an area to improve upon. Don’t get me wrong, never going back to the sinking ship of Reddit. Thank you for sharing the link!

        Yeah it’s a tricky one to fix because the federated nature of everything means there’s probably no instance that has every possible community indexed in search.

        That’s where tools like browse.feddit.de come in but that’s a little bit finicky too and I’m not sure how things get indexed there.

        Saw someone was building a more advanced search interface yesterday but I can’t remember the URL now, it looked promising though so will come back and update you when I find it!

        P.s I didn’t post the link as some kind of passive aggressive thing I just thought you’d like to see it 😄

          Didn’t take it that way at all! I appreciate you sharing it as I always enjoyed that subreddit. My first foray into the whole federated system of things, so it is a bit of a learning curve. Always happy for someone to share their experience to help develop my understanding and better utilize these platforms. I have used the browse feddit once before but agree it felt a bit finicky. Would be happy to try the other you’re talking of, so when you do find it please share!
