    I think part of the problem is finding communities.

    I search for things, but they all look so small I assume that can’t be the proper one and end up not joining it. I’m not convinced I’m seeing the full list of what’s out there.

        Okay. I’m going to be stupid and ask the basic question

        I’m on lemm.ee and my feed is interesting enough so if I fuck with it I could make it worse.

        But let’s say I want to see more of https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy (or something smaller) on my feed how do I do that?

        I was going to wait for an app and go from there. But I’m not sure which one has swam to the top of most recommended (I used rif on Reddit and enjoyed that)

        Edit: I’m going to try sync. I’ll work it out from that

        That’s a really useful site.

        I’m not sure why it’s showing such a small number when I search for it using my instance. e.g. searching for “games” shows [email protected] has 83 subscribers, while your link shows 19,400. Is it just showing the number of subscribers from my instance on there, or some number when it was first found by my instance or what?

          Yes, that’s exactly it. It’s an unfortunate product of how the backend works right now, as far as I understand it. I don’t think there is a way to see the total sum of subscribers to a community from all instances right now. I think the issue has been raised on GitHub, though.
