Someone recently asked if there was a neat way to see where all of the now broken down subreddits moved.

Some moved to Discord, some to Lemmy, and some are somewhere else.

This seems to be a good place to find your communities again: https://sub.rehab/

I'm new to Lemmy/The Fediverse but I am a little confused on how to use this website. So when I go to that website I see links to a bunch of places. I personally created my account on lemmy.world, but all of the links on that website go to other websites that I'm not logged into and I can't use my lemmy.world login to sign into (can I?).

So to use the website, I have to go to a second tab to http://lemmy.world/communities# and then search to find the same websites that are on that page.

Am I getting that right, or is there a way to use links in the fediverse to open onto their equivalent on my host? Hope I'm asking this right but I'm very confused about how to handle things like external sites and links.

you can simply mutate the url from https://other.instance/c/community to https://your.instance/c/[email protected] but yeah, it's a pain. It's a good opportunity for a simple browser extension or script that does some URL rewriting.

I found that on mobile, Jerboa has some instance url associations for major instances and that means that links can open in that, where you're logged in to your account on your home instance, and it handles it. but it's been hit-and-miss for me as to whether it'll open in the app or continue in mobile browser.
