Would be nice if there was a way for posts to be flagged such that memes and shitposts and more serious discussions could be separated, so you could filter depending on mood.
Yep, also an easier way to explore/sign up and filter instances and their different pages. I'm new and have no idea what I'm doing regarding that. So far I'm just signing up to instances and hoping new interesting stuff appears on my page.. I'm on Lemmy.world as I assume we all are, how do I view the different pages on this instance or is it all just in a singular feed?
Hit the communities button near the top of the page to subscribe and view. You don't need to sign up to more instances unless you really want to, we can post on any federated instance. It's weird at first but you'll get it.
Discoverability is something that could definitely use more work. Right now I recommend the site lemmyverse.net/communities, which is searchable and shows subscriber and active user counts. It should help you find where the most populated communities for your interests are located, if they already exist over here.
Your front page has three feeds. All is just what you'd expect. Local filters to only show posts from your home instance (lemmy.world in your case). I find it's mostly useful if you're registered to a smaller instance and want to keep up with local concerns.
Home shows updates for all communities you are subscribed to.
We're not! :)
I'm on sh.itjust.works, others might be on lemm.ee, lemmy.zip, feddit.uk, etc., but we can all interact with each other. That's one of the benefits of the fediverse.
