I was wondering what the point of lemmy was, if we can’t get a certain number of people, we won’t be able to thrive as a community and I don’t see lots of people joining even though it is an open-source and decentralised forum unlike reddit....
i wouldn’t say i’m overweight, and i know that the BMI index is not necessarily reliable, but i do feel like over the years i’ve kinda lost the figure i used to have. i mostly stay at home and code now, whereas a couple years back i used to play a competitive sport on a daily basis....
I don’t find the community browser that easy to use, and sometimes I just wish I could ask “is there a place for X”, or maybe just discover some more niche communities I wouldn’t have thought about.
I just signed up on the discuss.online instance and when I search for communities very few show up. There are many that I know exist, but I can’t see them to subscribe to them from inside this instance. Is there some way I can easily search and subscribe to my account on this instance?
and maybe teach me how to use it. I am a novice ubuntu user but i am getting friendly with terminal. no fancy stuff just to self host and have the option to block unwanted instances and communities, also wanted to browse the lemmyverse without encountring an api rate limit error. link me if this is already asked before. thanks.

We hook you up into a machine and you now find yourself in what effectively is a paraller reality where you get to be the king of your own universe (if you so desire). Nothing is off limits - everything you’ve ever...
