Yet another lemmy instance proudly hosted in Montreal, Canada. Still need to get a icon created, if there are any designers here who would like to contribute please feel free to post!

Hey! So, communities aren't pulled in until at least 1 person on this server is subscribed to it. What you need to do is go to Communities at the top, search for the full URL (https://lemmy.ml/c/nintendo), switch the search from "Communities" to "All", then wait ~10 seconds or so for it to pull in the community. Then just follow the link and hit the "Subscribe" button on the right.

Once that happens, that link (https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]) will work for everyone.

It would explode every Lemmy server if they pulled in all communities from every other server all the time, even if nobody cared.

Thank you so much for your help!

You might also want to poke around the community browser, see if you can spot anything else you might want.

I'm fully expecting lemmy.ml to crash sometime in the next few days, too many people thinking developer run = main instance = join main instance, so it's a good idea to set up some links to other servers in advance, if any catch your eye.
