    I’d really like an algorithm (optional, of course). Getting content you want to see is really difficult. It’s hard to find people to follow, and when you do you get all of their posts in your feed, not just the ones you want to see.

    Make sure you are following hashtags if you aren’t. Follow people to get everything they post. Follow hashtags and you’ll just get interest based posts (since pretty much everyone hashtags the shit out of their posts for visibility).








  • So I’m on Kbin.social right now. Let’s say I wanna view our gaming community. like how Reddit has:

    Reddit.com/r/Subredditname

    I would go to:

    kbin.social/m/magazinename

    You on lemmy.world would go to:

    lemmy.world/c/communityname

    Super simple so far I hope lol. Same url format, just a C instead of an R on lemmy, and M instead of an R on kbin.

    Let’s say I on kbin wanna see your gaming community. If I did kbin.social/m/gaming, I would get mine. The url though can act like how an email address does, by adding a domain to the end of it. So if I did kbin.social/m/gaming@lemmy.world, I’ll see your gaming community. Same if you do lemmy.world/c/gaming you see yours, but lemmy.world/c/gaming@kbin.social you should see ours.

    If I got those URL’s right that is lol

    Both kbin and lemmy instances do also have other ways to get to other instances to sub, but the instructions I provided are based just on the url so it should work for anyone while ya get used to the UI and new platform and whatnot.
