You can check your favorite subs daily and not be overwhelmed by content. It’s a nice thing

Lemmy currently lacks the userbase for niche, specific communities, or subregional communities

I think it will more of less follow that path naturally in the years to come, if it ever catches on. You can already see this happening with some instances (ie lemmy.ca mostly devoted to canadian topics, etc)

You have to remember that the amount of lemmy servers exploded in the past week or so. We’re pretty much figuring this out collectively

Ads.

There’s a few subs designed for that as well:

https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities

https://lemmy.ca/c/wowthislemmyexists

When you sort by “New” it kinda refreshes in realtime.

c for “community”

No. But you can search them in the communities tab (local or global) and surbscribe to them. And if it doesn’t exist, create it :)

Really digging (no pun intended) the fediverse vibe so far, so no mourning, but excitement.
