Yuck
Gross.
Found you from your post on @nfl/@lemmy.ml. thanks for taking the first steps.
As you find great ways to link to more NFL or Packers communities in the fediverse, would you mind sharing your successes here?
I have a dream to read League and team news in my jerboa for Lemmy app, and engage in discussions (and rants, and trash talk threads...) Similar to Reddit, but not on Reddit.
Same goal here. I don't feel like you need to have the biggest community to get good chat going and pick up the latest topics.
Here's what I just learned.
For others reading along, I learned a good way to find communities is:
1)go to http://browse.feddit.de and search for communities by title (“NFL”, “broncos”, “NFCN_meme_war”). This is to make sure you’re seeing if your desired community exists somewhere.
2)log into your account at a place like http://www.beehaw.org (for me it is http://sh.itjust.works)
3)search by the title again (not the url that feddit.de let’s you copy… Don’t know why)
4)click the link to the community, it opens in your browser
5)click the sidebar link, click subscribe
6)now you can log into your app (for me it’s jerboa for Lemmy) and see post from those communities in your subscribed feed!
This seems arduous, and it is, but it’s just because I’ve been reading that search for communities in jerboa isn’t functional yet, because we’re all so new! It’ll like get better soon
Yeah, definitely some teething issues. I found the performance of community search between instances quite different for unknown reasons. Thanks for sharing the walkthrough
Thanks for the mention of Jerboa for Lemmy. This whole Lemmy thing is completely new to me.
Me too! I'm learning on the job. 🙂
