my biggest tip is that if you’re on ios get wefef. great app that makes the lemmy experience beautiful and seamless.
when you read a comment from c/all from a community you want to join you can click on the community c/link to see all the posts from that community.
then use the three dots in the app at the top right to subscribe. soooo much easier than trying to search for a community from the web ux.
and i guess the other tip is to just manage your expectations - reddit wasn’t built in a day and it’ll take a while for all of our niche communities to create new homes here 🥰
former redditor who belonged to many sfw “porn” inage forums but never one like this. beautiful way to populate my feed - thank you all for your contributions and fine conversation ❤️
