As with /r/411 this is where you ask what Community you're looking for but not finding. Perhaps a bit more helpful now that some communities are only found on certain instances.

Found/new community announcements - there are numerous "announcement type communities - see https://lemmy.ca/post/612532

There is also [email protected]

Before you request There are several resources available to find communities and resources and these have been pinned to the top.

there are community search engines at https://browse.feddit.de/ and https://lemmyverse.net/communities
there are numerous other "find a community" and "community announcement" .. communities (list stickied; if you find another, comment pls)
we will publish a Community Listing (at an as-of-yet-undetermined schedule)

Two subreddits I used to be very active in were for techsupport and networking/home networking. Anyone know if there's Lemmy communities for the same?

Also, related, is there a way to list communities available from a specific instance? Like if I wanted to see all communities local to Lemmy.world or something (that's not my local instance), can I do that? If so, how?

I'm still getting used to the fediverse way of doing things, I love it here, I'm just having trouble getting myself up to speed relative to all that I was subscribed to on Reddit.

TIA

Click on Communities at the top of the page, https://lemm.world/communities (make sure the selected tab is Local), though unfortunately it's a paged list and not all communities in one page.

check out https://lemmyverse.net/communities for searching for communities, though not all will show up. You can also use a specific instance to search for communities like - https://lemmy.world/search?q=networking&type=Communities (make sure the All tab is selected)

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
