A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
A tricky part here is that the community still needs to be followed at least once on your instance for the content to come through. *I think*
So if a community isn't coming through, I'd recommend these steps:
* Search for the community and follow it like any other user.
* Add it to a specific/bespoke list, then remove that list from home (a setting available on each list). This removes "the firehose" from your home feed.
* Follow the corresponding tag as you would any other

@maegul @fediverse Will not adding community to an exclusive list hide it from hashtags too?
I don’t believe so. I’m pretty sure I’ve checked it, but I could be wrong.
It makes sense though as hashtags are a different mechanism from follows and boosts.
You could do a quick test with the test community and the test hashtag.
@maegul @fediverse Working as intended. Thanks.
Hope usable direct following for lemmy from Mastodon come soon.
Otherwise this method is fine too.
