I wrote a guide to help users with their migration to Lemmy

This guide will help new lemmy users find and subscribe-to (remote) lemmy ~~subreddits~~ communities

Some quick links that might be helpful:

https://browse.feddit.de/ (to find communities on Lemmy)
https://kbin.social/magazines (to find communities on Kbin)
https://sub.rehab (to see where subreddits officially/unofficially moved to)

I'm also working on a browser extension to make subscribing easier:

This is great! I've been having all kinds of trouble finding communities in jerboa. The url method worked and found lots of stuff I couldn't find in the app

What can be done about subscribing to a community and having the sub stuck as pending?
