Hi all, I’m new here. On Reddit there is the front page where I can find popular posts even in obscurely named subreddits like “leopardsatemyface” or “okbuddycinephile” that I could never find by actively searching for it.
How do you discover content on Lemmy that is not in your local instance?
I even tried subscribing to “leopardsatemyface” from Lemmy.world, but my app doesn’t even show it in the search results even when actively looking for it. 🤨
Please help 🙈
Also if you don’t mind another stupid question, when I subscribe to a community it is first shown as “pending” and only a few minutes later as “joined” - why? What is it waiting for?
lemmyverse.net has a damn decent community search function. Additionally, on lemmyverse, you can sort all communities by Active Users, Publish Time(age of the community, newest first), number of posts or number of comments.
