My biggest issue is that community discovery is difficult. I browse through the Memmy app and joining communities that are new or niche is really hard. Often times links just don’t work, it might be because I’m on a smaller instance, but it’s difficult to find communities targeting my interests because of this.
If your instance doesn't know about a community yet, you need to try loading it twice. First time it'll give an error, second time will work.
How do I search a community that my instance doesn’t know about to try and find it in the first place, I must apologize for my ignorance, but I’ve never found a good explainer on the finer details of federation.
Personally, I use Lemmyverse explorer and check @tcbot_uam@feddit.uk's trending communities.
Maybe I'm just terminally online but on lemmy.world I just go on /all instances and browse by top last hour and I easily get to the end of the stack.
Try browsing by top six hour!
Do that too
