In this howto we’ll show you how one can join lemmy.world or any Fedirated lemmy instance so they can free themselves from the evils of reddit’s CEO:

  1. Go to https://join-lemmy.org

  2. Click Join a Server

  3. Pick one you like the domain / url for and click it

  4. Sign up with your email of choice. use a <username>+2600@<email.host> to help find notifications later on.

Congrats, you have joined lemmy. From your home instances, you can click on the Communities link and see all the communities on that instance, and subscribe to them so they show up on your subbed feed. If you don’t see a community you want, you can create one. In the most basic form, that’s it, you are now part of Lemmy.

From here You can log into your instance and then subscribe to communities from other instances. To do that, once you log in to your preferred instance:

  • Search for !community-name@instance-name (like !risa@startrek.website)
  • Click the link on the search result
  • Expand the sidebar
  • Click subscribe

Now, whenever you log in to your preferred instance you will see posts from the sub in your feed.

Have fun!
