It's quite laggy (understandably) and I'm having trouble navigating myself, finding communities/topics, finding people to interact with etc. Naturally there will be teething problems early on, and different problems will arise as the reddit exodus increases. Still, I think Lemmy has huge potential.

Check out https://browse.feddit.de/ for finding communities, it's not 100% perfect but it's a good start :)

I tried to do that and it logged me out :-/

Sorry, what exactly did you try to do and what happened? Happy to help I just don't want to go off on a tech support ramble and have it turn out I completely misunderstood the problem :D

I clicked on the link to communities, and it said "you must log in". I stupidly didn't write my (auto-generated) password down and Opera isn't letting me view or c&p my saved passwords. So I had to go back to the home page and refresh to be logged in again.

Huh, well I've just tried every way I can think of to try and recreate that but no matter what I do the link is still just a list of communities lol, it's on a different instance even so god knows how it logged you out of this one. Apologies for the drama, glad you got back in!

I had similar problems with mastodon too. That being said, I'm a technological luddite so it's probably something very simple.

You gotta copy the link to the community then paste it into your instance's (lemmy.world) search bar.
