The best way to browse is by subscribed communities, in my opinion. Check them out in the menu at the top. Local coms are the ones on your instance. They'll be arranged by most popular to least, so keep in mind that the ones at the bottom might be abandoned. This is a much smaller place than reddit.

Make sure you check out the rules in the sidebars before posting or commenting. Each community will have different rules ranging from common sense to performance art.

    I agree. But, giving is better than hoarding in an already corrupt system. I think their methodology for determining what's altruistic is flawed, though. Only giving efficiently ignores that not all positive initiatives can be efficient, by nature. Like it's cheaper and easy to buy a thousand people a good pair of shoes, not so much to buy fewer people a good computer or a home.

    Social media for the antisocial.

    No tears from peers, a place to leer without fear (No corporate ears.)

    Link aggregation without the agitation.

    Look at stuff. Do things. No ads.

    These are more like taglines.

    I tried piefed a while ago, liked the tags, but think they should be mandatory. I'm just not a big fan of the sign-up wizard, multi-coms or general vibe. Would still be cool if Lemmy had tags.

    Couldn't someone just browse by subscribed if they want to curate their feed?

    But I agree that, if communities could tag themselves by subject/category, there could be options to subscribe or block tags for people who like to browse the All feed.
