I know people are confused about how fediverse works and how to use it. This is an attempt to compile a list of beginner's guides made by some amazing people on this topic.

Fedi.tips - A comprehensive guide for Fediverse and Mastodon. Useful for Lemmy aswell.

I will update this list if any new guide is made so you can save this post for later. Also, if anyone has any good guide to add post it in the comments and I'll add it here.

So are some methods of accessing communities from the federation working for people now? (ones from from Michael Altfield's guide) Earlier today I found that only manually going to lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/@ works, and now it does "404: couldnt_find_community" for a while.

Also subscribing results in "Subscribe Pending" which doesn't seem to go away. Something that will resolve itself hopefully, but reporting in case others experience the same.
