Is there a way of "merging" multiple related communities into a single view in the lemmy 'federation'? detailed question inside

I’m new, an original refugee and don’t understand everything yet. I’m finding this place much more friendly and helpful and like it much better. I’m older (55) and used to work in IT, but all this still baffles me. I’m not going back because I abhor what’s going on. I’m hopeful that with time, all my favorite subs will be here and I already spend a lot of time here. I feel much more free to comment without fear of retribution and that’s a welcome relief. It was rather ostracizing on Reddit to feel that I shouldn’t comment because of all the negativity I would get. My life’s hard enough without getting put down for every little thing I said. I love it here and I’ve only been here for a week or so. Thanks everyone for being so nice.

I feel like Fediverse users are nicer to each other and more generous with upvotes than reddit.

I totally agree. Folks are much nicer here and I feel more free to make a comment, no matter how mundane. I’m commenting and posting more than I ever would before because no one beats me up here. I still have the fear of posting anything because of the backlash, but I think that’s ptsd from the other site and I’m getting over it slowly but surely. I love this place.

Ohmygosh, thank you so much!! I was just complaining to hubby yesterday that if I was still on that other site that I could find a doctor in my area, but I didn’t want to even go to the site. This is a god send, thank you and hugs to you virtual stranger!!!

Subreddits you are going to miss?

I couldn’t agree more. I already feel much more welcomed and am not as hesitant to post comments in fear of the negative nellies. I’ve got a lot to learn here, but am loving what I see. So glad there’s a quilting community, even if there’s only a handful of us. I’m sure we’ll multiply quickly!

Outlook junk mail

I know (sigh). I should probably start migrating to something else, but there are soooo many things that are tied to this email account. I need to find out if I can forward from outlook to something else - that might help catch anything that might fall through the cracks.
