I was wondering if there’s any sort of homepage like on reddit where it shows up with posts from the subs you’ve subscribed to? I can’t find anything like that, but maybe I’m not looking in the right place. And if there isn’t something like that, is the only point to subscribing to communities that you can find them on your subscriptions list more easily? Or is there anything else that it does?
I’m not completely sure but my understanding is “Subscribed” shows the communities you’re subscribed to like reddits homepage.
“Local” shows all communities that are part of your lemmy host like lemmy.world.
“All” shows all communities that anyone in your host are subscribed to or all communities from all hosts your hosts members are subscribed to.
The “Subscribed” option at https://lemmy.world should be exactly that.
Ah yes, I see I’m stupid now. Haha, didn’t even look there because I was assuming the lemmy.world page would only have posts posted directly there, but that does make a lot of sense! Thanks! Now that I’m getting a feel for things, this really isn’t that different from reddit. It’s just a lot smaller and not controlled by corporate greed.
Additionally you can make the homepage start at “subscribed” via the settings. Otherwise it switches back every time
Oh, thanks! I found it and changed it.
I also realize now that I had gone to lemmy.world/c/lemmyworld, and that’s why I hadn’t noticed it before. I didn’t even realize there was a difference, lol.
Yeah it’s a bit of a learning experience. I had similar issues yesterday, but I’m getting the hang of it
You can also subscribe to communities in instances that lemmy.world is federated with. For example, I’m from sh.itjust.works, and viewing this post from my homepage there.
I think you can view a feed of only your subscribed options. I’m just looking at all rn because I don’t have any subs
