I think the main thing I'm missing from Lemmy is the ability to work backwards to find a community. For example, a less-mainstream band I liked posted a new pair of songs last night. With reddit, I could search (via Google most likely) to find a subreddit where this news was posted, and use that to determine that yes, I would like to join this subreddit. Is there a way to do this with Lemmy?

I just love it when people at HN complain about a freaking web site being too difficult to use. Quite some hackers we are! Took me less than an hour to register and get comfortable with Lemmy.

> Took me less than an hour to register and get comfortable with Lemmy. Do you really not see the problem? For Lemmy to face any hope of becoming mainstream your statement should be "less than 5 minutes". Maybe that barrier to entry is a pro to you, and that's fair, but surely you understand the criticism that a social network should be usable without reading a guide, yes?
