Looking for cool communities?

Some people have been asking which communities they should join first, so I posted some remote communities you can subscribe to on the sidebar on the homepage :)

Tech → !technology@beehaw.org
News → !news@beehaw.org
Gaming → !gaming@beehaw.org
Memes → !memes@sopuli.xyz
Privacy → !privacy@lemmy.ca
FOSS → !foss@beehaw.org
Monero → !monero@monero.town
Music → !music@beehaw.org
Books → !literature@beehaw.org
LGBT → !lgbtq_plus@beehaw.org
Nature → !greenspace@beehaw.org
Sports → !sports@beehaw.org
Programming → !programming@beehaw.org

Find another cool community? Leave a comment :)

There's also this universal community search tool you can try using. If you find a community, just copy its URL and paste it in /search to subscribe to it here. This just goes to show that while there might not be many local communities here on lemmy.one yet, the beauty of the fediverse means that doesn't matter!

I'm here from reddit, and thank you for these recommendations. Time for my neuroplasticity to kick in so I can learn how all this works.

sbowesuk@lemmy.one · 12 pts · 3y

Also here from Reddit. Lemmy actually feels like how Reddit *used *to feel in its early years, i.e. fresh community with fresh ideas. Love it!

I think the reddit hug of love is affecting things today on the 12th.

Just a general question, on a mobile device is using your browser or an app the better experience? And if using an app is Jaebra the one most people use?

BrainisfineIthink@lemmy.one · 8 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Was just wondering about that. Jerboa pushed a major update today so I thought it was that, but on desktop I am getting 403's and timeout galore today. Just try to be patient - growing the platform is a GOOD thing, but real people host these instances in most cases, and fixes take resources!

I'm actually impressed it seems to be holding up rather well from what I'm seeing. Is there anywhere to view the uptick in traffic?

jonah@lemmy.one · 7 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I prefer the browser to apps personally, this is actually one of the main reasons I like Lemmy over Reddit and it's unusable mobile view. You'll find plenty of mobile app users here too and it sounds like it works fine, I'll just caution that some (all?) of them sound like they're feature-incomplete, so if you ever think something is missing from Lemmy, double-check on the website first, because it might just not be added to the app yet.

BrainisfineIthink@lemmy.one · 6 pts · 3y

Yeah, most of them are still in Alpha. It's fun to see them grow and change with each update, but you are correct that many features are either broken/incomplete or just missing from them at this point. They're doing a terrific job with Jerboa, for anyone looking for an android client. It's very usable!

They are only de-federated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works

Lemmy.one is still federated with those two and beehaw.org

That means it has no impact on us at all, afaik. I'm no pro but I just made a new account, after having a beehaw one, on this instance specifically to see if I could still see everything on all three, and I can.

SKLC@lemmy.one · 2 pts · 3y

It has an impact - you can't see posts or replies on beehaw communities by people from lemmy.world, even if we're federated with all of them. Only people from lemmy.world can see those (but they can't see anyone else's).

I’ve been a lurker on the subreddit for ages and when I saw your post I decided it was time to check Lemmy out. Thanks for taking the time to set up an instance to keeps the community alive as Reddit implodes.

Does anyone know if you can hide posts in Jerboa? This post and a lemmy.one welcome post are pinned at the top of my feeds, and they take up a lot of room visually. I'd also like to hide posts I've already seen, as on smaller communities I only want to see the occasional new posts, not see the same post from 3 days ago every time.

harelu@lemmy.one · 4 pts · 3y (2 replies)

Go to your user settings and uncheck "show read posts", I just recently found it so I dont know how it works exactly, but im assuming once you open a post it will be considered read, and hidden on mexr refresh

Aardonyx@lemmy.one · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Thank you, that worked! Although I would prefer to be able to manually hide any posts that I don't want to see as some posts do have repeat value - but I suppose I can just comment on them or save them (I presume?) for reference.

harelu@lemmy.one · 1 pts · 3y

Yep, saving works good for that. But yeah, once you open or upvote it, theres no way to undo that, so they will get hidden with that setting off.

There is an existing star trek topic thing I found in search. Is there a way to merge them? This is the one thing I'm going to be worried about is fragmentation of topics across instances.

preston@possumpat.io · 3 pts · 3y

Right now, not really.

This was also an issue on reddit tbh - several subreddits would spring up for multiple topics, like how there was r/gaming and r/games. Over time, I'm sure some instances will become the "default" for a given topic, and others will become defunct. Imo, this is a good thing. It's a pretty healthy way to grow communities and avoid lemmy.ml dominating every topic.

Atleast one person from your instance needs to subscribe to a community on another instance so that others can find it in the all communities list. If none have, you need to paste the real url into the search to find it.

So go to the search, choose "communities" "All" and type https://programming.dev/c/c_lang

While traditional science fiction often presents humans as vulnerable masses seeking refuge from menacing aliens or as feeble beings overshadowed by aliens with superior logic, strength or empathy. HFY disrupts these archetypes by challenging the norm.

In the world of HFY, humanity is bestowed with exceptional qualities, giving rise to a sense of optimism and empowerment within the reader. It seeks to uplift and inspire, demonstrating the potential of human greatness and the capacity for overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds.

Hello, still learning how this all works. I know I'm in the minority here, but has anyone come across any communities on lemmy that deal with karate, aikido, taiji chuan, brazillian jiu jitsu, or martial arts in general?

I think I found some communities to replace the programming subreddits I belonged to thanks to the suggestions here. Still looking for one to replace r/sysadmin.

Personally, I am looking to make a permanent move off of reddit and I appreciate the time and effort this took to get this instance into place and helping people figure out how to use this, Thank you.

Hopefully u/sagenkai won't make the move here. He was a shitposter deluxe on the aikido reddit.

Is there an OutOfTheLoop? I keep finding vague allusions to beehaw defederating lemmy.world, but I have no idea where to ask what happened.

TheJawa@lemmy.one · 4 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Beehaw appears to be staunchly against instances who allow open registration for any account. They want to foster a safe, friendly community and instances that allow open registration are a ripe spot for trolls and bad actors to register with Lemmy. Since these trolls and bad actors are then free to post on any federated instances, they can sign up on these open instances and attack places they otherwise wouldn't be allowed to register.

Do the the limited functionality of moderation between federated instances, they decided to defederate from the two fast growing, open registration instances. They've developed a plan with sh.itjust.works to build a path to refederating but Lemmy.world admins have been non-responsive to Beehaw's attempts to reach out to them about doing the same.

Thanks! That clarifies a lot!

Why can't I see this post using my account under fmhy?

It doesn't appear to be pinned on my home in there, like here

I followed /c/chat but even organizing by top all time (in which this post appears as the first one), it doesn't show while in my other account.

AVeryCleverName@lemmy.one · 2 pts · 3y (3 replies)

I found a pretty good instance that might become the defacto programming hub: programming.dev

asden@lemmy.one · 1 pts · 3y (2 replies)

That seems to be offline for me?

AVeryCleverName@lemmy.one · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

It's programming.dev, my bad. I fixed it

asden@lemmy.one · 2 pts · 3y

Thanks!

Anyone aware of an arts/culture community that’s not about posting your own work but more about cool exhibitions and performances across the art world?

Is there a community for soccer?

jjjm182@lemmy.one · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

There's one here, but I don't seem to be able to subscribe to it. https://lemmy.ml/c/soccer

dunkle@lemmy.one · 1 pts · 3y

search for !soccer@lemmy.ml and then you can subscribe.. (I just did this)

Is there a community for users of FreeDOS?

Fly4aShyGuy@lemmy.one · 1 pts · 3y (4 replies)

Found a few very small communities with just a few posts from the universal search tool, when I search for these (they are on other instances) I can't find them. They are not on a blocked instance (both are on lemmy.ml), am I doing something wrong or is there some limit in size of community that are reachable through federation? Thanks, am very new to how the federation works in both Lemmy and Mastodon.

jonah@lemmy.one · 2 pts · 3y (3 replies)

Click the copy icon to the right of the community name on the search tool, then go to https://lemmy.one/search and paste in the URL it copied, and the community should show up. If it doesn't immediately show up: wait 30 seconds, refresh the search page, and try again, and then it will work.

dukethorion@lemmy.one · 3 pts · 3y

This process needs to be easier, somehow. New users are going to search, see it doesn't show up, assume everything is broken, and leave.

Fly4aShyGuy@lemmy.one · 0 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Thanks, this worked. I was searching "community@instance.tld" but they showed right up when I used full URL copied from the search tool.

jonah@lemmy.one · 0 pts · 3y

That should work too, but maybe you need an ! at the beginning, like !community@instance.tld

ylambda@tagpro.lol · 1 pts · 3y

I can't see some lemmy.ml communities like "sports" or "Star citizen"

jonah@lemmy.one · 2 pts · 3y (3 replies)

You can’t see them if nobody here has subscribed to them yet, but if you paste the URL for those communities in https://lemmy.one/search, they’ll show up.

knighthawk0811@lemmy.one · 0 pts · 3y (2 replies)

so that's how it works. i thought there might be a time delay, but this tracks with my experience yesterday going through the process.

the initial search does have to be specifically correct in order to find it though. I'm sure it's necessary, but something newcomers like me have difficulty learning the first time

ctrl_alt_cheat@lemmy.one · 1 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I entered a url of a out of instance community in the search term bit it didn't show up. What is the right way to do this?

Are there any UK-specific communities?

Deebster@beehaw.org · 2 pts · 3y

There's a UK-specific instance: lemmy.org.uk

So far the only community looks to be !general@lemmy.org.uk but I expect there'll be more soon.

Seems we've now got ukcasual on lemmy.world! (I've not worked how to link to communities yet!)

This just opens a new browser window on that instance rather than that community on my current insurance, so I can't actually subscribe/comment from there
