Still trying to figure this out. Need a decent Apollo style app to fully move in. I’m so done with Reddit. I already nuked the content they let me and deleted a few accounts. Definitely phasing out.
Click Communities. Subscribe to a bunch. Click on your name and go to settings. Set Type to Subscribed, this defaults your home screen to show only posts from subscribed communities. Also make sure the Theme is litely or litely-red.
You don’t need multiple accounts*. Lemmy.world is a federated instance of Lemmy. That means you can see not just the *local *content that fellow Lemmy.world users post here, but content posted by any other Lemmy federated instance. If you signed up for Lemmy on the instance sh.itjust.works rather than Lemmy.world, because sh.itjust.works is federated as well, any posts you make are visible to me because both of our instances are in the Fediverse. That’s to say, they agree to mirror content for the sake of building a large shared network of information.
*The only reason you’d want another Lemmy account is if you were joining an instance that wasn’t federated. That’s to say, someone or some group decided they were going to make their own Reddit-style site using the Lemmy software and keep all of its content private. You’d create an account with that site, sign in and the only content you’d ever see is local.

How do I connect this account to stuff outside lemmy.world? Do I need multiple accounts? Thanks btw.
