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.

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

Yep, just did that it works great, but will only work for the included domains.

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

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You don't have to create an account on the instance to subscribe to their communities.

You can, for example, search for [email protected] to index that community from your home instance.

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.

I made [email protected] as an alternative to r/curlyhair. You can also search for new communities at [email protected].

!sailing[email protected]

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!

I still don't quite understand how to subscribe to other communities on this thing.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (5 children)

I did the following on Jerboa

  • save this post (we'll be revisiting this a few times)
  • go to the search function that is indicated by the bulleted list icon
  • enter the community name (without the @... part)
  • there'll be a few results
  • tap on them, see the posts if you want, and tap the subscribe button and see that it shows joined
  • go to saved posts, repeat until subscribed to every community you want

Having said that, there's probably a simpler way to do this. Still early in the learning process.

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: [email protected] """ 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.

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 [email protected] for English language discussion about Germany.

[email protected] Is a fresh community for discussing everything Visual Novel related. Hope it grows.

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.

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.

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?

It's a small community but I like [email protected] (I really think we need a better way to link communities.)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We just need to understand the convention

Instead of r/<community name> we have !<community name>@<instance name>

I think it's doable

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Yeah but instead of just being able to click the link and subscribe you have to copy/paste the link in to the search bar on an entirely different page and then make sure all your search filters are set correctly and then maybe wait a bit if no one has accessed it before from your instance and then you can click subscribe. It needs to be way easier than that, like with RES you could just hover over a linked subreddit and click subscribe without ever even leaving the page.

It is not really good, since I have just created it. But as far as I know, there is no such community anywhere in the lemmy verse, hence me creating it:
