Really glad to see this community start up on another platform after Reddit brought the hammer down. Centralized social media only gives a platform as long as they want to. Justified or not - they have chosen to rescind the priviledge to theppshow community.
Lemmy.world is a massive instance, and fairly open from what I have seen.
Users can make an account here on lemmy.world but they will still be able to subscribe and participate on other Lemmy instances and other Lemmy communities, similar to Reddit.
For more DRS / Investing content, I’d also encourage folks to check out the DRS instance hosted by the DRSGME/WhyDRS team.
You can get there easily through my profile or by pasting this link into the search bar (upper right by default) from this community page.
You must log in or register to comment.
I also wanted to mention that we put together a fairly comprehensive post called The Apes’ Guide to Lemmy which you can find here: https://lemmy.whynotdrs.org/post/33703 or view through this instance here: https://lemmy.world/post/2180181
Hope that’s helpful, and enjoy the new space!
To find worthwhile communities by name: (on Lemmy, “subreddits” are called communities)
- click on “Communities” at the top of Lemmy
- near the top right corner is a search box to search for communities by name.
- search, for example, for “GME”
- click on any of the individual search results, which will take you to that community’s page. Click the Join button. this will subscribe you to that community and show you posts from that community under your Subscribed feed
to add, here’s a valuable outside tool which caches all Lemmy communities for search at the same time.

I did not get any malware warnings, no!
I haven’t really subbed to many lemmyworld communities, I would wonder if you get it with any others? My feeling is that it would have to be something about how the instance is hosted. Community managers don’t have any control over how the instance is hosted.
