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:
-
Click “communities” on the home page. In the “Subscribed / Local / All” button, click “Subscribed”. HA! That was almost totally obvious!
-
Click your user name on the main page, then in the drop-menu click “profile”. Your subscribed communities appear on the right.
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.
Is there a way to hide this from other users? I don’t see anything in the settings, so I’m guessing no.
good question. wish I knew the answer
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
thank you. makes sense
