MODERATORS
Only if you're on an instance that already has users subbing to a ton of communities. I'm not sure how this is much different than the federated timeline on Mastodon. If I joined a small lemmy instance it would be a similar experience. I'd need to reach out to find external communities that interest me.
I've been pretty happy on noc.social. I'll concede that my local timeline has a skew to it due to the server I'm on but the federated timeline is a bonkers firehose from all over the place.
Regardless, my point whenever this conversation comes up is to say that yes, I agree there's a learning curve for new users going from a monolithic service to a federated one. But I don't think the solution is to emulate a monolithic service (i.e. everyone on mastodon.social). I think the solution is to improve the on-boarding process and provide resources so that those new users are eased into the change and can learn how to find the content they want.
