  What did people say when you posted and asked for help?

  Lemmyverse.net is the best way to search across all instances for communities that would interest you.

  Whatever the hell the equivalent of a subreddit is called.

  That’s communities. Did you have issues with the communities link at the top of the page? You can switch it to the “All” view. Also what the other comments said is good too, like for finding a very niche community I’ll use lemmyverse.net/communities

    I can browse the All feed but not much interests me there. I’ve found a few on my instance and stumbled upon some from other instances via links in posts but if I find a community on something like the website you posted I have no idea how to get there and subscribe to the community. I try to paste the link into the search but that just treats it like a keyword to search my instance.

      could you give me an example of which community doesn’t work?
