I'm having trouble finding communities in lemmy.ml here (is one of the unblocked instances). I can find them from another lemmy instance, just not here. How often are the communities updated? I'm hoping to make beehaw my 'home' instance.
In response to your postscript: You can search here for other communities: https://browse.feddit.de and there may be other search, please let me know if you find them. That one is a bit slow to update. I used that to determine that there was no community yet for a topic. So I tried to get a feel for which lemmy might be best for it and created it there. The one I created was Trader Joe's Unofficial You can see I even added a note in the description about it being my first and trying to add a better/more mod.
TL;DR See if your community interest already exists anywhere, and if not, go create it!
Wait...the comment seems to indicate that the primary mod did not want to go dark, and an inactive mod came in and made it go dark. I understand being upset...but this does not seem like anything a Reddit admin would do?
So far so good. This is actually my first comment.
I had a hard time wrapping my head around how the federation worked. But figured out I just search here in communities only with my keywords. If I don't get a result here and https://browse.feddit.de then it means no community has yet been created anywhere.
I decided to make Beehaw my 'home' server after discovering it actually had an 'interview' that I jived with and a moderated/structured set of communities. As my first deeper 'test' of lemmy I have created my first community at lemmy.world since it seemed like the place for my random community about a grocery store chain: !traderjoes@lemmy.world
If I was making a specific tech/software related community I likely would have chosen lemmy.ml as that's where many other tech/software related projects have landed so far. But lemmy.world seemed the better choice for random.
Does this seem relatively close to be how I should handle things in the lemmyverse?
Edit: It would be nice if there was a user setting to open external links in new tabs.
Thank you. This really should be a user profile option. Here's hoping.
That's what this does:
Tap the 'more' skinny hamburger menu just
abovebelow this message to 'view source' of the below:blah blah blah links to asklemmy@lemmy.ml
Actually..better, here is one for an instance that is neither yours or the one you posted into:
blay harg vlar
Subscriptions are actually completing now. Takes a minute and manual intervention. But they are going to 'Joined'.
I made the mistake of not investigating exactly how long The Wandering Inn is.
So...that is what and will be reading...seemingly forever. :-S

Love them! And yes for consistency. Great work.
