YSK: How to see a list of the communities you're subscribed to

3 years ago by imapuppetlookaway to c/youshouldknow

EDIT: After reading some posts on the topic, i agree that "communities" is preferable to "sublemmies" so i changed it.

Why YSK: it's convenient but there's no "my communities" button that makes it totally obvious, so if you are like me and get confused by anything not totally obvious, you should know these two ways to see a list of your communities:

  1. Click "communities" on the home page. In the "Subscribed / Local / All" button, click "Subscribed". HA! That was almost totally obvious!

  2. Click your user name on the main page, then in the drop-menu click "profile". Your subscribed communities appear on the right.

We should probably call them communities because, well, that's what they are so we don't confuse the noobs. Also, I want to emphasize that this definitely isn't reddit

Subreddits are called communities in Lemmy. Sublemmy sounds fun though

Yeah, after i submitted that post i saw a discussion about "sublemmies" versus "communities". Actually, i never thought of "sub-something" as a Reddit thing, but i guess it is. I think "communities" sounds better. I'll use it in future.

Sub-something is as much of Reddit as downvote/upvote, so pretty much nothing at all. I find people that argue that being a downside to be a little silly.

As someone still finding their way around here I'm loving all these YSK posts about navigating Lemmy. Thank you all...

Agree, somewhat confusing at first but it's coming together with time

If your on a browser, you can also go to lemmy.world home page and scroll down a bit, on the right part of the page, below the box containing the description of the server, there's another box listing all the communities you're subscribed to.

if i look at my own profile while logged in, all of my subscriptions show in a column on the right side of the page. but if i look at your profile i see none of your subscriptions, presuming that you have some; the right-side of your profile is blank to me. the only thing i've seen so far in another person's profile on the right-side column is what communities they moderate. so it seems to me that our subscriptions are rather private.

Still trying to figure out what "local" means

I believe "local" refers to posts on the instance you're registered on, while "all" includes posts from federated instances

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.



Rule 11- Posts must actually be true:

Disinformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.



Rule 12- Linking directly to a video as a source is not acceptable.

Video only posts are responsible for an outsized portion of rules violations. Your post must contain text and meet the requirements of the previous rules.
