I want to find communities, so is there a community dedicated to finding communities?
I like this one the most: https://lemmyverse.net/communities
That means a lot to me :) I added a Instance filter and support for KBin recently.
If you setup your “Home Instance” the links will point to the community on your home instance, too.
I was wondering what that home button did, that’s so cool! This tool is amazing.
Noob here. When I click the link of a page there I am not logged in. How can I watch and reply to this from lemmy.world?
Don’t click the title, click the text starting wirh ! (like
!linux@lemmy.ml) and paste it into search on lemmy.world. It will find that community and you can then click it and join.Edit: If others are reading this, you can click the home button and setup your home instance, thay way the links will correctly go to your instance and the whole process is much better!
Thank you! It worked, though quite cumbersome
yes, unfortunately finding, joining and linking to other communities across instances kinda blows now, but given how new lemmy is i think that will improve over time!
You can also set your home instance and the links will open on the one that you choose. :)
Yeah this feels like a big flaw in the systemyeah it’s cool it’s all communal, but being split is weird
Casual users will just want a ‘subscribe’ like you do on Reddit. They’re not going to care about servers and instances and 3 different variations of the same community on different lemmys, that’s just a hurdle.
I know this because nobody in my friend group has made the jump because it’s too confusing. I’m the usual tech-guy early adopter in the group but most of this has gone over my head too.
I’ve been using this userscript to redirect all links to my instance. If you’ve never installed a userscript, it’s pretty easy, you just need to install the Tampermonkey browser extension (there are others but it’s the one I use), then click the greasyfork link in the post I linked, and click install.
This is the best equivalent on lemmy.world, but just in case you don’t know this about the Fediverse yet, you don’t need a community to be on your home instance to subscribe to it. If you find any community that you like on any other instance, you are able to subscribe by searching for that community from your home instance.
Just wanted to let you know that you aren’t limited to the communities you see on the lemmy.world community page, or ones linked in c/newcommunities.
+1 for sub rehab
Theres a searchable list of all communities here https://lemmy.world/communities
You also have !findacommunity@lemmy.ml
Where you can actually ask and people reply just like r/findareddit
There’s also https://lemmy.ca/c/lemmy411 and https://lemmy.ml/c/findacommunity
In addition to the other replies, this was just announced: https://www.search-lemmy.com
It defaults to only search
lemmy.world…He said in his announcement that it would take a bit for the engine to crawl everything and grab other instances.
that looks useless, it just shows me an error saying I’ve been blocked lol!
Try again now, seems pretty good to me? It was literally announced like an hour before I posted, so maybe they had growing pains.
this might be helpful also lemmyfind.quex.cc
That’s also pretty cool! The crawlers are all crawling 24/7 lately :) I honestly like the simplistic UI, I made mine a bit “fancier” :D https://lemmyverse.net
I used this site when migrating https://sub.rehab/
Shows where old Reddit subs relocated to or branched out to.
