New here: how do I see posts from other lemmys? (lemmy.world)

I'm new here. I came over because I'm annoyed at reddit, but I don't quite understand how things are supposed to work.

As I understand it, Lemmy is like a reddit where a bunch of individuals run separate servers. My main interest is in /c/parenting.

I see that Lemmy.world's /c/parenting has some posts. Lemmy.one has some. Lemmy.can has some, etc.

None of these sites individually has enough posts/people to be useful (network effect), but together, they could make up a useful forum.

How do I get all of the other lemmys' /c/parenting posts to appear alongside the ones from Lemmy.world in the web interface?

join the communities you're interested in and then your "subscribed" feed will include all the posts from just those communities.

If the OP finds a post from another instance, he/she can put it in the text field of his/her instance's search (at lemmy.world/search for the OP) to search/get the local ("federared") version of the post.

Also, here are some communities the OP may find interesting to subscribe to, to help with discoverability:

And not relevant to the OP since Lemmy doesn't support small posts ("microblogging", e.g. Twitter, Bluesky, Mastodon's), but for people on compatible instances, following these two may help too:
