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?

You can't with Lemmy, yet. Maybe if you use a frontend client that supports it (like "blorp", or "Interstellar"). However, if you use PieFed you can do this. Just set up what's called a "Feed" and then you can combine all of the parenting communities into one.

For example, this is what the "AllGaming" feed looks like: https://piefed.social/f/allgames

There might be a feed already set up on the PieFed.world instance, otherwise you could be the one to set it up for everyone else.

Compared to Lemmy, PieFed also allows you to use tags on posts, user flair, create polls, blur spoiler images, and it will also combine the comments of anything that's been crossposted (separated into groups for each community) into a single post.

Blorp dev here. If I’m understanding the problem correctly, there are multiple parenting communities that OP wants to combine into one. If that’s the case, you’re in luck because I just pushed an update to Blorp that improves support for PieFed’s multi community feeds. Someone just has to create a feed that combines all the parenting communities.

I would start by creating an account on PieFed.social, try and setup the feed yourself on the official PieFed.social website (you can’t create feeds through Blorp yet), and if you get stuck ask in !piefed_help@piefed.social.

Once the feed is created, you should be able to pull it up in Blorp. There is still a lot of improvement for feeds in Blorp, like listing all the feeds you’re subscribed to. Stay tuned.

Added context: PieFed is an alternative to Lemmy but still can access the same communities and content through a different interface and different set of features. They are both interoperable.
