Reddit refugees, has your favorite sub migrated already? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I, being someone who works with computers, have had some luck with most of my favorite subs being here already.

Despite that, some of my hobby ones still aren't here. NFL exists, but it's the same as nothing so far. Soccer I couldn't find at first, maybe today it already does? Also, no sign of fantasy football.

I also followed a bunch of History subs, but looks like most people in Lemmy only care about science and technology.

Tell us, what is missing for you?

Tinkercad didn't have one yet, so I made it. Would love to see more maker groups, but it'll grow organically and I'm pretty patient.

What's the... I'm not sure of the name of the [email protected] is called. But how can I join your community? :)

Looks like it is this one

Thanks! Interesting, it didn't work when I first tried it, but trying again after refreshing the page and specifying "Communities" in the search it worked as expected.

No problem, figured I could look it up and grab it for you since I was already looking for communities myself

Seems like the easiest way is to just use

https://browse.feddit.de/

and search for the community if someone gives you the name but not the !(here)@here.whatever

maybe I'm just dumb, but I don't see where to create a community. how did you do it?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Only certain servers allow users to make communities. I think Beehaw doesn't allow users to make communities without approval or something. Not 100%. I'm on Lemmy.World and they let anyone make communities so I could make one now. (And I'm debating making entry points for some of my favorite subs that aren't here yet despite not having much content to post to them at this time)

I originally joined beehaw as I like their general philosophy, but it's why I ultimately chose a different instance as my main one. Not allowing users to create their own communities is a pretty big hindrance to growth and being able to develop niche communities. Reddit really excelled at this.

And to a degree, I do get why beehaw doesn't want anyone to just make any random community. Ultimately it's just a bit too limiting for my personal taste. The communities they do have seem pretty cool though!

Some instances (like Beehaw) don’t allow community creation, so check your particular instance’s rules first.
