Love Reddit but tired of what’s happening to it? We check out Lemmy and Kbin, two open-source fediverse alternatives that are growing fast.

    Go to https://kbin.social/magazines and turn on local and federated, then hit the search button. For some reason all the top “hot” are kbin but the “new” and “active” are various.

    Then if you specifically want, say, lemmy.world, type that into the search field and hit search again. It will all show.

      This shows the lemmy.world communities that are already federated to my instance. Its not a full list.

        True, but searching from a Lemmy instance will still only show you the ones which that one instance knows about. (I think?)

          Yea, a lemmy instance will show the same kinds of results for federated communities but there is no substitute for viewing the local communities from that instance.
