There are directories like https://lemmyverse.net/communities but it’s not straightforward for new users to simply click on a community to join Are there any clients that have this onboarding workflow implemented well?

Thanks, is there a way to subscribe directly from that directory?

You can set your home instance in the settings. Then at least the links open the communities in your instance.

Avoids copying and pasting and manually searching at least.

Not that I’m aware. I just type or paste sub@site.whatever into my Memmy search box and it pops up there.

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

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.
