We are happy to see that many of you are exploring Lemmy after Reddit announced changes to its API policy. I maintain this project alongside @dessalines....
you can search for !communityName and your server will look it up and you can join it. No need to have multiple accounts.
Edit: instead of the above you can also search for the link to a community on a foreign server to look it up, both works.
i.e. if you were on a server that didn't yet know about https://beehaw.org/c/news, you could search for https://beehaw.org/c/news or !news on a lemmy server so the lemmy server will recognize that community and list it, you'll then be able to join it, participate, mod it (if you're given the rights) etc.
Welcome Reddit refugees!
