EDIT: After reading some posts on the topic, i agree that "communities" is preferable to "sublemmies" so i changed it.

Why YSK: it's convenient but there's no "my communities" button that makes it totally obvious, so if you are like me and get confused by anything not totally obvious, you should know these two ways to see a list of your communities:

  1. Click "communities" on the home page. In the "Subscribed / Local / All" button, click "Subscribed". HA! That was almost totally obvious!

  2. Click your user name on the main page, then in the drop-menu click "profile". Your subscribed communities appear on the right.

Subreddits are called communities in Lemmy. Sublemmy sounds fun though

[-] imapuppetlookaway@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, after i submitted that post i saw a discussion about "sublemmies" versus "communities". Actually, i never thought of "sub-something" as a Reddit thing, but i guess it is. I think "communities" sounds better. I'll use it in future.

We should probably call them communities because, well, that's what they are so we don't confuse the noobs. Also, I want to emphasize that this definitely isn't reddit

[-] JackOfAllTraits@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Sublemmies sounds cute 😄

As someone still finding their way around here I'm loving all these YSK posts about navigating Lemmy. Thank you all...

Agree, somewhat confusing at first but it's coming together with time

[-] Briguy24@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If your on a browser, you can also go to lemmy.world home page and scroll down a bit, on the right part of the page, below the box containing the description of the server, there's another box listing all the communities you're subscribed to.

Still trying to figure out what "local" means

[-] dave881@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I believe "local" refers to posts on the instance you're registered on, while "all" includes posts from federated instances

[-] Optionhome@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
