    Guys, this is gonna sound super stupid, but I’ve just started using Memmy. I’m a bit confused and wondering if someone could help me out. So subreddits would translate into communities? I’ve tried finding a lot of communities but couldn’t find them, like subreddits, do you guys wait for them to be created or something? Is lemmy a new thing? I’ve been trying to find something other than Reddit as I’m an Apollo user and well, imma have to use something else!

      yeah subreddits = communities mostly works, but there are also multiple instances of those communities. For example, there’s [email protected] but also [email protected] and probably a bunch more. They’re separate communities, hosted on separate instances with separate moderators. If you’re interested in “gaming” content, you’ll probably want to subscribe to both, and that’s easy
