The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Might be a stupid question, but I iust signed up for lemmy.world today and wanted to add some communities from the migration list here. The equivalent of r/anarchychess is listed as https://sopuli.xyz/c/anarchychess and on my first visit to that site I couldn't really figure out how to subscribe... in this case sopuli would be the hosting instance if I understand. Do I need a sopuli account to subscribe and just add that account to my lemmy app? Or did I just not find the right option?
Noob here too.
I don't think you need another account on the separate instance as long as it's federated to lemmy.world
I think you need to subscribe to the following
https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
source of my info https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/2212
The best way to link communities is like this:
[email protected]
You should be able to click that :)
You can also just do a search for it and it should pop up.
I don't think you can link communities like that ? Or maybe it's only supported in some clients / instances. My understanding is that you need to link them by using the usual markdown link syntax (or the link button below the editor) and input /c/[email protected] as the link target.
Like this:
[anarchychess](/c/[email protected])Which will render like this:
anarchychess
Note however that I've had some problems with this previously. I suspect that the first time someone tries to access a remote community from whatever instance you're on, your instance runs some heavy API queries which are prone to failure if either instance is under heavy load.
Your instance is pretty outdated. Most have updated to 0.18, while you're still on 0.17.3
In 0.18 you can just type !community@instance and it will automatically link it and keep you on your own instance
Neat, good to know!
I've only just signed up for Lemmy myself, but it looks like you can access federated communites with URLs like https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
There's probably a more ergonomic way to get there than manually constructing the URL though!
Search for !community@server or the original url.
Use the web interface and search for either:
[email protected]
Or
The full url like you linked it.
Be patient, if it's a community that's new to your server it may take a couple minutes to find it.
I say to use the web interface because all the apps are rather immature and inconsistent in their handling of this.
I figured it out I think! The problem was that the link basically opened in a browser, and the browser has no idea what my Lemmy.world login is. My Lemmy App (Connect) has a search bar on the left side where I had to enter the community name and choose the right instance. IE there were 3 different Anarchychess communities with the same name, but the Sopuli instance was the "right" one. Going to the page trough the search bar allowed me to subscribe like I wanted.
Yeah there's lots of competing communities with similar or the same name. Usually picking the most active one will be the best bet. One will win and become the default just give it a little time
Or subscribe to both and get double dosage of fun.
