Violentmonkey + Lemmy Universal Link Switcher

Best way to avoid accidentally leaving your home instance.

Lemmy Universal Link Switcher, or LULs for short, scans all links on all websites, and if any link points to a Lemmy instance that is not your main/home instance, it rewrites the link so that it instead points to your main instance.

I guess I'll go first:

https://lemmyverse.net/communities

Best way to search for communities across the entire platform.

So when I try to do that in jebora it doesn't show me all the communities?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Correct. If no one from your instance has subscribed to a given community yet, it might not show up in your search results. Lemmyverse.net is a good way to find small communities on other instances.

Lemmy apps: https://join-lemmy.org/apps. Good for desktop: Voyager. (Web app closest to mobile experience on desktop)

I do not browse on my phone. Having been on Reddit for 14 years I had a hard time getting comfortable navigating. I recommend trying these two links Lemmy.old and Alexandrite . These helped me get comfy pretty fast.
