Lemmy is so good right now for no particular reason - eviltoast

It’s not the kids, not the lurkers, not the mods… y’all just nice people. Lemmy’s got a good vibe going… or at least enough windows that we can close if the vibe gets shit.

    Appreciate the help. If you would be so kind on clearing up one more thing… how the fuck do I subscribe to stuff? I’m on mobile and can’t figure it out. I really feel out of touch my god it’s happening!

      If the sub is on the instance you’re logged-in to (lemmy.works for you, I assume), then you just need to expand the “Sidebar” tab and tap “Subscribe”.

      If it’s on another instance, you have to navigate to https://lemmy.world/c/sub@instance. So the main sub for sh.itjust.works would become (https://lemmy.world/c/main@sh.itjust.works)[https://lemmy.world/c/main@sh.itjust.works] THEN go into the sidebar and the “Subscribe” button will be there. I think of it as just using a different door to get to the same content. And at this door you know the bouncer.

      Alternatively, the sorta short linked version within lemmy would be !sub@instance . So that would look like (!main@sh.itjust.works)[!main@sh.itjust.works]. You can type that into the search from your main instance and the first result should be a link. That link will take you to a version of the sub with the same “Subscribe” option under the sidebar tab. Hope this helps!
