why ysk: especially if you’re a new user it will help you understand the different projects, their goals, and how the projects interact with each other. It’s really easy to understand and an excellent starter guide to the fediverse. Check it out here

    This is really good, thanks.

    However as a newcomer I thought I’d share some additional questions I still have, in the hope others have them too and a FAQ might be developed.

    My questions are around finding content and communities. I’m essentially trying to set up a decent feed for myself like many free reddit.

    • how do you follow a topic (rather than a person), reddit-style?
    • what does all the talk on instances federating and defederating mean?
    • is it normal or expected that you join multiple instances to get your content? I’m juggling a few, because I can’t work out how to follow topics.
    • And if you do have different user accounts across instances, is there a way to link your own user profile between them? To give others a single view, or to make it easier to juggle all my instances?
    • I’ve heard it’s technically possible to follow content on Lemmy from Mastodon, for example. Is that a good way to consume content from single app?

    Any guidance here would be appreciated, and it might lead to a better newcomer doc for others.

    Thanks!

    This is a great resource! :)

    I feel like something like this should be stickied or included in the sidebar of the Fediverse magazine.
