What is your favourite Lemmy community, which is not on lemmy.ml?

3 years ago by comfy to c/asklemmy

I've already started seeing a lot of redundant communities being made here that have already existed on other Lemmy instances, and lemmy.ml is at risk of centralization and overload, so now is a great time to raise awareness of other instances.

For science topics, mander.xyz has a lot of good ones set up, and !solarpunk@slrpnk.net on slrpnk.net has been great!

edit: for new users - you can type ! to begin autofilling a community, even for ones on other instances, like I did for the solarpunk community above. It may take a few seconds for the autofill results to show up if you have a slow connection like me.

I launched lemmy.studio today, with the intent of hosting some music communities (music production, genres, different media, DAWs, etc.).

I just wrote out two comments that were deleted - Imo you shouldn't be able to edit or respond to a deleted post if it's not going to work.

I made an Ableton group on lemmy.ml a few days ago..doesn't seem like it's listed though. I'll probably just delete it if you're going to operate a music specific instance

While I'm really liking Beehaw, one of the caveats is that users cannot create new communities so I may need to just create another account to assist with making new communities. I did just sub to lemmy@lemmy.studio however

I tried to edit a deleted comment - not sure where it went.

I made an Ableton user group on lemmy.ml a couple days ago - assuming you're keeping a music based instance running, I'll probably just delete it. (Also, my group still doesn't show up in searches - in the future if I want to get one listed, how would I do that?)

PopHeads and fans of pop music rejoice, I have an entire instance just for you. Come and post all of your pop music theories, favorite tracks, costumes, memes, snarky comments, and all other related things. Hell, create a new community if you like!

General Popheads: https://poptalk.scrubbles.tech/c/popheads
Taylor Swift: https://poptalk.scrubbles.tech/c/taylorswift

Will be creating more as interest demands, or create one of your own, we know there's already a few fans of Camila Cabello there and I know I love CRJ :)

That's what I thought when I set it up, I could either go broad with a few things I like, but I think if we're going to really see lemmy expand we need to see topical servers. People are welcome to register on my server if they like, but I view it more as a "import this to yours instance to enhance your communities".

Interesting. You can also try https://poptalk.scrubbles.tech/c/popheads. On the website I know there's a bug where it doesn't show a loading spinner either, so it may take a few seconds after clicking search for it to show up even though it looks like it's not doing anything.

Lemmy.ml is also inundated with new members right now, they're actually 404ing for me right now, so they may be having issues connecting.

Is there a guide for how to register on multiple Lemmy instances? I am registered here, but noticed that I can't subscribe to communities on other instances? I assume I need to register there as well, but how do I get my subscriptions on both instances to funnel into the same place?

Thanks! Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this

Nope you can subscribe to other lemmy instances. You just need to know their link. For example, if you want to follow my Taylor Swift community and become a full blown swiftie like me, you can do this: (Make sure All, All, and All are selected when searching)

While fine for me, I thnk this is going to be one of the bigger hurdles for newer users. It's not the most obvious, really. I'm not sure what could help, maybe some bookmarklet exists to make it simpler to subscribe via the instance you're using?

Completely agree, it's a major pain point. I've opened some issues on Github around it. Reddit had a manifesto that joining communities should the easiest thing to do, and we need to do the same here.

Something very similar exists for Mastodon in the form of FediAct so it's probably only a matter of time until someone makes a browser extension for Lemmy.

Small tip: you don't have to search with an exact link there, simply searching for "Swift" would've found your instance.

Only if your server already knows about the community. If you're the first person on your server (more likely if your server or the one you are subscribing to are small) then you'll need either the full URL or at least the !taylorswift@poptalk.scrubbles.tech part.

Kamirose 10 points 3 years ago

In addition to what @Barbarian@lemmy.ml mentioned about changing the filter and searching, you can link it from your own instance like so:

https://lemmy.ml/c/gaming@beehaw.org

You can also grab the URL to any community or post on another instance, return to your own instance, and paste the URL into the search bar. If you're the first person to ever search for that server it might not find anything at first, but it'll fetch the data and probably work in a couple minutes.

I think you may be able to use relative links, eg:

^ That one is done with [gaming@beehaw.org](/c/gaming@beehaw.org)
I don't think !gaming@beehaw.org works alone though?

Go to Communities at the top, change the filter from "Local" to "All" and search for "Gaming".

If you're the first one who wants to register to a community from this server (not the case here) it's slightly more complex.

GenZedong and other communities shilling on lemmygrad. Some of these accounts post multiple pro-china, pro-russia, anti-usa articles per hour. I'm all for open discussion, but accounts like that are just propaganda pumpers
