No worries, we’ll figure out how this works someday.

    Some (okay, quite a lot) of that pushback seems really weird to me. There’s so many people pontificating about the “convenience” of Reddit, and having access to every community on the same platform… somehow failing to realize that an Internet browser is, itself, a single platform that can access everything and that clicking on a specific sub from a website’s drop-down menu is functionally no different from clicking a bookmarked webpage from a browser’s drop-down menu.

    I think folks are just scared of change and upset at the (minimal) inconvenience of having to set up a new account elsewhere.

      It doesn’t take long to find communities with the Lemmy Community-Browser.

      Yes, it would be easier if we could just join from the sidebars without having to copy to your own instance’s search page. But once you’ve subscribed, it’s fairly seamless and avoids an algorithm pushing subs at you.
