I'm not the OP here but my biggest hurdle has just been finding similar communities to the ones I regularly browsed on Reddit. I don't totally understand how the difference instances work here, or if that affects different communities being visible when I'm searching for something. It seems that if I am signed out of my account on one instance and search for something then I get a lot more results vs if I'm signed into this account and try to search.

I'm also using Jerboa, but was a Sync Pro user for years before. I'm looking forward to those devs releasing an application for Lemmy in the future.

This is by the same guy that hosts the N-O-D-E website, and it it is a conglomerate of recent tech new/articles that I think hold some weight here. There is also a related YouTube channel that is worth checking out if this sort of thing interests you.

I've been following this channel for years now and I have to agree. So much great info and so many cool projects packed into one clean, no bullshit space is great.
