There are directories like https://lemmyverse.net/communities but it’s not straightforward for new users to simply click on a community to join Are there any clients that have this onboarding workflow implemented well?
If you have the patience letting the drip of communities surface through your instances ‘all’ feed has been a good way to take in the growth.
I have an account I don’t normally comment from I leave all the memes unblocked for killing time, otherwise it’s been a lot of negative filtering and following interesting comments.
If you’re self hosting that’s a different problem.
This one let’s you choose the instance you are in so it makes the links open direct in that instance
Lemmyverse does too, top right home icon
On Lemmyverse, there is the option to set your home instance (top right home icon), then the links open on your instance
this is the best way, and people (including me) not notice it from the start.
should be a bigger button
Probably, something to bring up to the owners of the page I guess
I would recommend just going to All communities and clicking subscribe on everything you like.
Search on https://lemmyverse.net/communities
Thanks, is there a way to subscribe directly from that directory?
You can set your home instance in the settings. Then at least the links open the communities in your instance.
Avoids copying and pasting and manually searching at least.
If you use the voyager app they have an option to migrate subreddits using your multireddit. It basically parses the multireddit and allows you to quickly search for communities that match your old subs. It gives you directions to do it. I found it very helpful.
