Once a community is searched by someone, they should be in the communities > All section. But yeah finding brand new communities is hard.
Yeah but you have to have an IT degree to subscribe to something. Even on that website we canโt just hit โsubscribeโ
you basically have to find the !community@domain string, then copy it and paste it back into your home instance search field & search for it, then navigate to it from your home instance to subscribe to it.
it's very cumbersome but it does work. perhaps things will change in the future, or maybe not.
Thanks for linking my guide mate!
Brand newb here. Do i have to join all of them with different logins or?
No, but you can interact with different instances, like how I am commenting from beehaw.org instance.
I definitely need answers for this, too.
You can't reuse the login to difference instances, but you can interact with different instances, like how I am commenting from beehaw.org instance.
Sweet, thanks! Also, my first comment in this fediverse thing, here we go!
Welcome to fediverse!
Thanks man! I'm still trying to get used, but I am really enjoying it so far
How does that work exactly? I am registered here, but want to subscribe to communities over on feddit.de It only gives me an error message on the bottom left that I'm not logged in when hitting "subscribe".
You need to go to Communities tab, and from there subscribe to those communities. When those appear in your feed, you can comment.
You can't directly go to those instance and comment.
Can someone help me with uploading avatar? Every time it shows me an error
I'm wishing there was some type of bot that would search out new communities on other instances that were formed and would go through the process of searching and joining so it shows up for users when they go to all.
Not because the process is too cumbersome, but because I've found that older posts and comments that happened before anyone joined don't end up showing up which is a shame.
Anyone know how I can get something similar to 'infinite scroll' with RES? ie it only updates when I scroll to the bottom.
I find myself looking at the front page and then losing my place as a spam of updates coming in.
It's an issue that will be fixed in the next update (which is gonna be released pretty soon)
That was fast, thanks! I like the little notification I got for this :)
From a Reddit refugee I love this. Is there any current way to save posts like this?
Yep! Click on star icon to save any post and it'll get stored in your profile.
Is there some script to automate finding any of the 100's of subreddits, YouTube channels etc, we're subscribed to, To migrate?
So are some methods of accessing communities from the federation working for people now? (ones from from Michael Altfield's guide) Earlier today I found that only manually going to lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/@ works, and now it does "404: couldnt_find_community" for a while.
Also subscribing results in "Subscribe Pending" which doesn't seem to go away. Something that will resolve itself hopefully, but reporting in case others experience the same.
Sorry, that was our fault, we were unable to federate with instances for a few hours. Everything should work as intended now.
Sorry for the mistake
No problem man, we know you're working hard through this chaos
Found several community links in some chats. But clicking on them, opens the link in browser with an error. Is there some way to directly open the links in the Jerboa app?
presumably you can do this in the app, I have not tried as the process is cumbersome and much easier on pc.
you basically have to find the !community@domain string, then copy it and paste it back into your home instance search field & search for it, then navigate to it from your home instance to subscribe to it. i kind of got into a groove with it earlier and subbed to at least once community on each of these --> https://join-lemmy.org/instances
Enable app links in Android app settings. Then links will open directly in Jebora.
So I'm having an issue with accessing the thegarden.land, when I view it directly I see comments on posts, but when I access it at !gardening@thegarden.land through FMHY, I see the same posts but with no comments. Here are images showing my issue.
I attempted to login to thegarden.land with my username and password for FMHY, but I just get an indefinite spinner and no response. Is this an issue with lemmy, or something I'm doing wrong?
search for it like so from your home instance (fmhy), while you are logged in on your home instance - you wont be able to log into thegarden.land unless you have an account there.
my main instance is lemmy.world - subbed here earler today using that same process ;)
Hi there I just came across your comment. The issue could be with your language settings, you need to select English AND Undetermined.
Hey, we have an FAQ at lemm.ee that could be added to your list!
Thanks, it looks great. I'll add it to the list.
Anyone have an updated guide for installing lemmy with docker? I've followed the instructions on join-lemmy docs but it fails and I'm too stupid to figure out why.
Have we created a list of piracy related Lemmy subs that our FMHY members can use to jump start their new accounts?
I think it's just us and r/piracy who have set up lemmy rn. If and when more piracy communities join us here we will make a list.
Ahh I see, thank you for the heads up!
I set type to "all" in my settings, but the default is still "local." Anyone know what's up with that?
I'm pretty sure it's a bug. If you select "All", lemmy will show "local" at the top but will fetch "All" content anyway, You'll need to then select all and then local back again if you want to see local content again.
Kinda frustrating but should be an easy fix for devs.
Can we add https://lemmyverse.net/communities to the list to spread the word about the tool?
I've been thinking of collecting index/list type sites for lemmy and unsure whether to append them here or make a seperate post for them
Make a separate post to make it more visible because people will most probably miss it otherwise
This is gonna make for some good reading this weekend! Thank you for putting this together!
Hi I have made an account for FMHY, do I need to make another account for another instance? For EG : I have joined FMHY now, so can I join feddit.uk with this same account?
You cannot login to that instance with these credentials no, but you can access all the communities on that instance and engage with them through fmhy instance itself.
So there is no need to make a new account for every instance.
