Honestly struggling a bit. Finding the communities for my interests was very easy on Reddit, kinda having a hard time here.

I'm having trouble navigating through lemmy. The Frontpage was different before I created an account. Could someone explain the instances? I logged in to lemmy.world does that mean the content on the rest of lemmy is off limits? I have to create an account for each instance?
I see there is lemmy.ml and others
Edit: I get it now. Thanks for the explanation

I'm waiting for some new communities to pop up, but the layout is good.

Thanks for having us! I'm excited to try this out. I am only just trying to figure out how all of this works.
I have subscribed to several communities now, but when I go to the main page, I still see the generic content that was there before I logged in. How do I view a feed of just the communities I have subscribed to (analogous to the front page on reddit)

Glad to see an alternative is gaining traction! The inversed colours for up and downvotes will take some getting used to!
To double-check that I understand Lemmy correctly: the equivalent to a subreddit is a server, right? So within lemmy.world there arenβt necessarily subforums/topics/subreddits.
got into reddit fully just a few years ago. it was my go-to for silly frog pictures to cheer me up. any other instances (i hope i'm saying that right, something similar to a subreddit) that are frog related? i'd love to contribute some :)

I'm liking it but if there's a search function I'm not finding it? Like, I want to go looking for communities by topic.
For all of Lemmy: https://lemmy.nz/communities/listing_type/All/page/1
For just your instance: https://lemmy.nz/communities/listing_type/Local/page/1
There isn't really a way to search by topic as of right now, but you can search in those menu's with generalized subjects to find related communities

I have finally managed to create an account, so do we have CSS like original reddit? Other then that lemmy seems pretty cool
It doesn't look like we have the same css feature yet, but you can start your own lemmy instance just to host your community and customize the hell out of it.
