YSK: How to see a list of the communities you're subscribed to

imapuppetlookaway@lemmy.world to You Should Know@lemmy.world – 13 points –

EDIT: After reading some posts on the topic, i agree that "communities" is preferable to "sublemmies" so i changed it.

Why YSK: it's convenient but there's no "my communities" button that makes it totally obvious, so if you are like me and get confused by anything not totally obvious, you should know these two ways to see a list of your communities:

  1. Click "communities" on the home page. In the "Subscribed / Local / All" button, click "Subscribed". HA! That was almost totally obvious!

  2. Click your user name on the main page, then in the drop-menu click "profile". Your subscribed communities appear on the right.

We should probably call them communities because, well, that's what they are so we don't confuse the noobs. Also, I want to emphasize that this definitely isn't reddit

Subreddits are called communities in Lemmy. Sublemmy sounds fun though

Yeah, after i submitted that post i saw a discussion about "sublemmies" versus "communities". Actually, i never thought of "sub-something" as a Reddit thing, but i guess it is. I think "communities" sounds better. I'll use it in future.

Sub-something is as much of Reddit as downvote/upvote, so pretty much nothing at all. I find people that argue that being a downside to be a little silly.

As someone still finding their way around here I'm loving all these YSK posts about navigating Lemmy. Thank you all...

If your on a browser, you can also go to lemmy.world home page and scroll down a bit, on the right part of the page, below the box containing the description of the server, there's another box listing all the communities you're subscribed to.

you can also go to lemmy.world home page

The home page of whatever instance you made your account on.

Thank you. This is very helpful info to us newbies!

Still trying to figure out what "local" means

I believe "local" refers to posts on the instance you're registered on, while "all" includes posts from federated instances
