nope, lemmy doesnt do any of that
but you can do that (and mastodon and peertube and piefed, etc) and access all the lemmy content on mbin
Thank you I will check that out as well
Lemmy is community-centric like Reddit, rather than user-centric like X/Twitter. If you want to follow specific users then look for a microblog platform like Mastodon. Or try mbin, which combines multiple platforms as another commenter mentioned.
Thank you I will check both out
Not really how it works.
Browse /all and find communities that look interesting, then subscribe to them.
You can only subscribe to communities on Lemmy, no individuals. For individuals, you'd want to use Mastodon (twitter-like) or Mbin (Reddit-like with Twitter-like abilities).
If you're new, I'd recommend installing Instance Assistant, then searching for communities that interest you either organically from your All or Local tabs, or searching across all instances with Lemmyverse.net
Thank you very much, is mastodon n the other the same as Lemmy just a different app or servers I will try the assistant
Nope, you subscribe to communities like subreddits.
Subscribe to communities that you like, subscribe to similar communities from multiple instances. E.g. there's News in more than one. Then set your feed to Subscribed and sort by How, Active or Scaled (perhaps best). When you want to see what's going on elsewhere, switch your feed to All + Top, or All + Hot / Active. If you want to discover small communities you don't know about - All + Scaled.
Rule 5 (support question). Locking.
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.
