I feel little bit like cheater - I am not on beehaw that often.

I mostly post on homebrewing community on https://sopuli.xyz/c/homebrewing

Trying to grow it because I loved brewing subreddits.

https://programming.dev/ is a programming focused server. It has communities for a few different languages. It's not too popular yet but I hope it will be in the future.

Mandatory email when other instances have optional is a bit difficult for me to go through

[–] addison@beehaw.org 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You don't have to create an account on the instance to subscribe to their communities.

You can, for example, search for !programming@programming.dev to index that community from your home instance.

OT: In Jerboa (lemmy app), why does clicking those community links open in a browser?

My understanding is that if I want to engage with a community on another instance, I need to "go to" that community from my own instance.. right?

But when Jerboa opens the community in a browser, I can't subscribe or anything since at that point I'm "on" the other instance, which of course has no idea who I am.

[–] psudo@beehaw.org 24 points 1 year ago (3 children)

For Jerboa, if it's not on one of the instances it is set to open, it'll default to your browser.

They're working on expanding it past their default list, but to enable those long press on Jerboa > App Info > Open by default > toggle the enable button and turn on all the links.

Those instances will now open in Jerboa.

same thing happens to me in a web browser and in the ios app (mlem)

probably just one of those early-tech things the devs need to work through and find a better implementation

it's a bit cumbersome, but you have to copy the text of the community and search for it from your own instance's search box

Mander.xyz seems to be such an amazing instance. Science based. It is sad that it doesn't have as many users as I had hoped.. Science ftw.

I created lotrmemes@midwest.social for those of you that like lotr memes

[–] Risk@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Think it needs to be posted as !lotrmemes@midwest.social in order for it to be clickable in certain clients, like Jerboa.

Edit: Well, I finally got the format right but the link crashed Jerboa. IDFK.

!sailing!sailing@lemmy.world

My husband created this for sailing enthusiasts and it’d be awesome to see it get more active. You don’t have to be an experienced sailor. Just enthusiasm for the hobby/sport!

It would be nice to see a new home for Tabletop Game Design; much enjoyed the discussions around both role playing and board/card games alike.

https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/freemediaheckyeah is a piracy focused instance. Pretty dope, plus I didn't get stuck in registration limbo they just have a basic sign up.

[–] yeti@beehaw.org 8 points 1 year ago

The big things I’ve been missing here are a horror community and a synthwave/outrun/vaporwave aesthetics community. I might have to just make my own.

I still don't quite understand how to subscribe to other communities on this thing.

[–] vipaal@feddit.de 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

I did the following on Jerboa

  • save this post (we'll be revisiting this a few times)
  • go to the search function that is indicated by the bulleted list icon
  • enter the community name (without the @... part)
  • there'll be a few results
  • tap on them, see the posts if you want, and tap the subscribe button and see that it shows joined
  • go to saved posts, repeat until subscribed to every community you want

Having said that, there's probably a simpler way to do this. Still early in the learning process.

I will normaly just go to the community on the instance of the community and then on the right side (don't know about mobile) there is:

""" You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosting@slrpnk.net """ on my instance you also have to add to the search that all servers schould be searched. And then it works out.

Also some of links when I start brwosing the fediverse from my instance also bring me to the community without leaving my home instance but i didn't figured this out jet.

https://feddit.de has a few German language communities of you're interested in such stuff.

Machen wir das hier auch wie auf reddit, dass das Erwähnen eines deutschen Unters sofort alle deutschen Nutzer aus allen Ecken herbeiströmen lässt?

Does anyone know how to add new instances to the Lemmy Community Browser? It doesn't have the one I'm from nor the communities from it. Are they automatically scraping communities somehow or is there a dev we can ask them to add new communities and instances to?

I'm really hoping https://kbin.social/m/folklore takes off, but at the moment that server has disabled federation because they're having trouble scaling up to handle all the new traffic. The creator translates a lot of German folklore into English and seems very passionate about folklore and mythology.

Today I also learned about !germany@feddit.de for English language discussion about Germany.

Does anyone know why I can see a ChatGPT sub-lemmy on lemmy.ml but can’t on feddit.uk?

I made a new account on feddit.uk to help spread load from lemmy.ml but I can’t see this and some other specific communities that I was subscribed to on the other instance.

Iv tried search all communities etc not just local

https://lemmy.ml/c/chatgpt specifically

[–] croobat@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That particular community has probably never been fetched by your instance of choice, after searching it wait a couple of seconds and it should appear. From that moment onwards anyone who searches it from your instance should have no problem to find it.

It is not really good, since I have just created it. But as far as I know, there is no such community anywhere in the lemmy verse, hence me creating it:

!gaybros@lemmy.world
