Your client will only show the communities that your home instance knows about. Your home instance, reddthat.com, doesn’t go out and build a list of everything out there.

Go to lemmyverse.net. They spider the whole Threadiverse to find all communities on all instances.

Click on “Communities” tab. Search or just browse the whole list.

Each community will have a little “copy” icon next to a bit of text like !technology@lemmy.world. Click on that and it’ll copy it. Paste that into your client’s community search field, and it’ll tell your home instance to go talk to the instance where that community is and learn about the community. You can then subscribe to it.

EDIT: I’d also add that PieFed’s lead dev, @Rimu@piefed.social, said in a comment I read a day or so ago that the next PieFed release is supposed to add some sort of functionality to improve on this community search situation on PieFed home instances. But for people with home instances that are existing PieFed instances, Lemmy instances, and Mbin instances, lemmyverse.net’s community list is pretty important.

There are also a few other ways to find communities, like posts on !newcommunities@lemmy.world or !communitypromo@lemmy.ca, both of which I recommend as communities to subscribe to themselves. Or check the history of a user that you think is interesting and see where else they hang out — might be they’ve found some good communities.

On the large home instances, you can check “All” instead of “Subscribed” and that’ll show posts from all communities that has at least one user on your home instance subscribed to it. Doesn’t work so well on small home instances, as it’s more-likely that nobody’s yet subscribed to a given community on a remote instance.

I think that right now, lemmyverse.net is still pretty important as a tool for navigating the Threadiverse.

I guess one could invent some sort of mechanical cranked device that maybe has multiple people cranking and some sort of geared system to combine their inputs and produce the same level of mixing as an electrically-driven system.

It sounds like Dairy Queen technically sells what was sold as “ice milk”, since it has a lower butterfat content than “ice cream”, until the federal government removed that classification in 1995:

The Reason Ice Milk Isn’t A Thing Anymore

Many current popular frozen desserts were once categorized as ice milk and more in fast food restaurants than most people realize. According to Dairy Queen, its soft serve cannot be labeled ice cream because it only contains 5% butterfat and was called ice milk until the FDA eliminated the category. “DQ® soft serve fits into the ‘reduced-fat’ ice cream category and our shake mix qualifies as ‘low-fat’ ice cream,” it states.

Dairy Queen is far from the only fast-food chain that doesn’t actually carry ice cream — at least not the legal definition. The next time you order a Chick-fil-A’s Icedream or McDonald’s ice cream, you’re eating the modern version of ice milk.

It sounds like ice milk is more prone to ice crystal formation than ice cream.

I don’t know if it’s possible to do a Blizzard by hand crank. Like, even if you had the same mix, it might require more-vigorous machine mixing to keep the mixture smooth.

And I bet even if they did someone would be snarky about how milk tastes better if you milk your own cow for it instead of buying it.

That’s why you just grab a few buddies and some axes and chainmail and raid a farmstead, let the farmer class do the herding and milking. Though that does raise the difficult issue of how far you’re willing to travel on your raid to get the best milk.
