Unfederated lemmy instance, how to pre-subscribe new users to our main communities ?

Hi,

I am setting up a lemmy instance for a small private group. They are not very technically literate and I don't want to have to explain the concept of joining the right communities as part of the onboarding process.

So I want to pre-load all the right default communities to each user when they create an account. Is there a way to accomplish this ?

thanks !

I don't have an answer to your specific question, but honestly I think learning to subscribe to a community is a really important "tutorial" on using lemmy/reddit. Otherwise they might not understand how to get to each one. You also could just have them look at the local feed so they wouldn't even need subscriptions.
- Yeah, the local feed is where it's at. No need for subscriptions when the server is small enough.
