New sync for Lemmy user here. What's different for a community that I subscribe to, than any other community? I mean .. For me to subscribe in the first place, they mostly have to show in my feed to begin with.

You have several feeds to browse Lemmy with.

All shows everything federated to your home instance
Local shows communities hosted on your home instance
Home shows everything you are subscribed to

So subscribing to a community puts it in your Home feed which is a self curated list of communities that you’re interested in.

Subscribe lets you build a custom feed of communities that youre specifically interested in. Use it as a filter to see the topics you care about.

As an example, I'm subscribed to "sync for lemmy" and saw your question. If I was just in "local" or "everything" its fully possible that i would never have seen any sync for lemmy content at all.
