For Mastodon?

I use it the same as my Twitter, mainly googling mastodon lists of know profiles there, the I copy/paste in the search and follow them.

On Lemmy it's easier, just do a search for the communities you'd like to join, for example:

Gaming at beehaw.org is amazing. Subscribe to that if you didn't already.

Sometimes understanding how to cross instances can still be a bit cumbersome though.

There is pretty cool support for relative links though! As long as your instance knows of a community, they'll work.

And if your instance doesn't know a certain instance exists, you just have to paste the url into your search bar to get it working: https://beehaw.org/c/gaming
