The way Lemmy works right now is you search a community in your instance for it to then get shown, so you need to first discover that community from elsewhere. With that in mind, what are some growing communities that you discovered that could get some more love?

    Nope, you only need one account. It works like email, it dosn’t matter if you’re on gmail, yahoo or fastmail, you can still send and receive emails from other providers. You can subscribe to communities on other instances and post comments or submit new posts regardless of which instance the community is on.

      Thanks for the reply, I think I got it now. What confused me was the “it’s like email” part. I understand I can send to/receive from yahoo, AOL etc. But I can’t log into them with my Gmail. So I was thinking I would need a sing-in for beehaw and others.
