Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.
Subcommunities on Beehaw:
This community's icon was made by Aaron Schneider, under the CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.
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.
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.
omg thank you this solves like 80% of the issues I've had lol
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
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
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.
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.
Unapologetic shill time:
Ya'll gonna have to nerd out with me now. 😎
Check out !newcommunities@lemmy.world for new communities that pop up. :)
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.
There are... some of us!
It's getting better! All the time! This was just posted yesterday.
I created lotrmemes@midwest.social for those of you that like lotr memes
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?
Ich leiste auf jeden Fall meinen Beitrag!
Also be sure to x-post these to !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca.
Also search for stuff at !lemmy411@lemmy.ca
I still don't quite understand how to subscribe to other communities on this thing.
I did the following on Jerboa
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.
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.
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.
!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!
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.
For people interested in Permaculture! https://permies.com/forums
Well this just introduced me to a new community. I've always wondered about putting ideas regarding sustainability into practice...
I made !curlyhair@lemmy.world as an alternative to r/curlyhair. You can also search for new communities at !newcommunities@lemmy.world.
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.
If kbin is able to scale up, will we be able to interact with kbin through lemmy, like we do with other lemmy communities?
!hentai@lemmynsfw.com
!conlang@lemmygrad.ml for the conlangers out there.
!esperanto@sopuli.xyz por la internacia lingvo.
!ttrpgs@lemmy.blahaj.zone as a TTRPG community
!main@feddit.de als Deutsche Community in Lemmy
So, let's say I want to subscribe to one of these, and I'm using Jerboa. How tf do I do that??
Hit the 3 lines next to the Home button on the bottom row. That lets you search for Lemmy communities. So, if you search "moviesandtv", you'll see the movies and TV community that OP mentioned.
I created a Grateful Dead community on lemmy.world, we've already got a few people participating and I'd love to see it grow
https://lemmy.world/c/gratefuldead !gratefuldead@lemmy.world
I suppose it's my time to shine! (Self promotion time)
