Now, how the hell do I set up a community? Do I have to go through admins?

    I found the best way to find interesting stuff was to:

    1. Click on the Communities link at the top, scroll through and sub to anything that sounds interesting
    2. Change your view to “Subscribed” and “New”, then you’ll see interesting stuff from the communities you’ve subbed to. You can switch it up from “new” to “Most comments” or what ever sorting sounds helpful.
    3. To drink from the firehose, switch from Subscribed to “All” and filter by Active, or most comments, and TRY to open interesting stuff as it scrolls by. I’ve read that’s a bug and will be fixed (the scrolling super fast).

    These things have helped me settle into using Lemmy.

    Very top of the webpage is a Create Community button, hit that.

    If you are on mobile, it’s in the hamburger menu.
