Coming from reddit of course, I cannot figure out how to get to some of the communities I followed there. Either they don't exist or I'm doing something wrong. Like I frequent r/android and r/SquaredCircle, r/movies, r/gaming, r/fossdroid just to name a few. Is there something similar here? Thank you!!

You can use https://browse.feddit.de/ to find a community, then copy the address (https://lemmy.ml/c/jerboa for example) into your instance's search bar, give it time to fetch it (it will show "no results found" at first, be patient), then click on the link that pops in search, open the sidebar from there and subscribe.

Yeah, it's super awkward now, but it's all growing pains - it's only going to get better from here!

This is going to be a lifesaver. Thank you so much!! Are you familiar with Jerboa? How would I get to these with that app?

You could use the community browser by feddit to search for Lemmy communities or if you want do directly find alternatives for known subreddits, use https://sub.rehab/.

this also does seem easy to use on iphone (yeah yeah i know it's my fault for having an iphone) i can't even log into my account on there but i assume with time a quality mobile app(s) would be delivered
