Reddit CEO Teases Paywalled Subreddits in c/[email protected]
Is there a community for finding communities? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

We have a guide over on [email protected], here is the current version as of 2024-01-02

📚 Guide | How to find a community? How to promote a community?

🙌 Communities for discovering new communities

Stay subscribed to these to learn about more communities passively

🌐 Instances to look through

You can find communities from specific instances

A great way to find lesser known communities is to look at the /communities page on an instance. Different instances may have different themes or focuses, and so you can find related communities that way.

For example: https://lemmy.ca/communities

  • pangora.social: Great way to find instances related to a particular topic. This is also great for picking an instance when first making an account/moving accounts.
  • awesome-lemmy-instances

The list of apps is pretty out of date. For example, Boost already came out and [email protected] is a pretty popular extension. I use it a lot to make posts, and just used it to open that post on my instance.

Also related is how to find communities

I help with [email protected], and the idea is that you can subscribe to keep seeing more recommendations. We also have a guide for finding new communities here: https://lemmy.ca/post/5581032, which I've copied below:

is there a community for finding communies? in c/[email protected]

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]

make URLs for communities, users etc as flexible as possible (kbin.social)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
8 comments fedilink
 
 

I would like to suggest that developers consider as much flexibility when trying to interact with links/handles from off-instance and off-kbin (e.g. lemmy) as possible. I would like for it to work on lemmy in a similar fashion.

I think that the various "incorrect" ways of doing things should work as redirects assuming this would not cause a technical problem. It could even explain the correct way of doing things if you'd like to discourage it.

Non exhaustive examples:

communities

as an example: https://lemmy.ca/c/wowthislemmyexists

search kbin.social for https://lemmy.ca/c/wowthislemmyexists - finds occasions where people have mentioned the URL in comment/post

Most lemmy instances suggest searching for a group in a way that doesn't work:

search kbin.social for
for [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]) - finds occasions where people have mentioned the handle in comment/post

you need to replace ! with @ to find it:

search kbin.social for
for @[email protected] - works as expected

So the kbin.social URL is https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]

But what about variations a person could try based on principals of how things work e
lsewhere:

https://kbin.social/m/@[email protected]

[https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]](https://kbin.social/m/[[email protected]](/c/[email protected]))

even allowing use of the /c/ instead of the /m/?

profiles

profiles have similar inconsistencies.

I can view this off-instance profile on kbin.social: https://kbin.social/u/@[email protected]

but if I try to drop my own username into the same structure, it doesn't work: https://kbin.social/u/@[email protected]

The only way to see my profile is (I think) https://kbin.social/u/density

Hope this all is intelligible.

Lemmy.world active users is tapering off while other servers are gaining serious traction. in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When you create a new community, other instances don't automatically know it exists yet. They find out when the first person from there, searches for your community (search syntax is given in the community sidebar: !community@instance <-- note the ! at the start). Once someone subscribes, it shows up in that instance's All feed.

To get the word out to other instances you can post in the various relevant communities as well as make sure to drop the link into any relevant conversations where people might be interested in checking it out. Since you have at least two accounts, if you create a community on one of your instances you can also use your other account as a shortcut and search for it yourself on the other instance.

Some useful communities are:

Então você se inscreveu em uma das muitas instâncias do Lemmy e agora deseja começar a ingressar nas comunidades nas quais está interessado.

Existem algumas maneiras de fazer isso...

Usando a página Comunidades:

O mais óbvio... link Comunidades no topo da página.
Quando estiver na página Comunidades, você verá 3 guias:

  • Inscrito - óbvio o suficiente
  • Local - comunidades feitas na sua instância
  • Todas - um pouco enganador porque na verdade não são todas as comunidades, mas sim todas as comunidades que foram buscadas por sua instância até agora.

Navegando na primeira página:

Mais especificamente, navegando na página inicial com o filtro definido como Todos (Inscrito | Local | Todos)
Se você estiver em uma instância bastante popular, provavelmente encontrará postagens de todos os tipos de novas comunidades à medida que outras pessoas de sua instância as buscarem.

Usando os navegadores da comunidade:

Esses sites indexam comunidades em todas as instâncias e você pode usá-los para pesquisar comunidades remotas.

Para se inscrever ou até mesmo ver comunidades remotas (comunidades hospedadas em outras instâncias), elas devem ser buscadas por sua instância.

Como buscá-los:

  • Copie o link para a comunidade que deseja buscar.
  • Acesse a página Comunidades em sua instância e defina o filtro como Todos.
  • Cole o link no campo de pesquisa e clique no botão Pesquisar.
  • Quando o texto dizendo "Sem resultados" sob o botão Pesquisar desaparecer, isso significa que a comunidade foi buscada com sucesso por sua instância (pode demorar um pouco mais para buscá-la, especialmente se a instância estiver sobrecarregada).
  • É isso! Agora você pode excluir o URL do campo de pesquisa e localizar a comunidade pelo nome.

Navegando pelas comunidades que promovem novas comunidades:

Existem algumas comunidades diferentes que você pode usar para encontrar outras novas e interessantes.
Alguns deles:

How to find communities and fetch them to your instance. (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
11 comments fedilink
 
 

So you signed up on one of many Lemmy instances, and now you want to start joining communities you are interested in.

There are a few ways to do so...

Using the Communities page:

The most obvious one... Communities link at the top of the page.
Once you are on the Communities page, you will see 3 tabs:

  • Subscribed - obvious enough
  • Local - communities that are made on your instance
  • All - a bit misleading because these are not actually all communities, but rather all communities that have been fetched by your instance so far.

Browsing the front page:

More specifically, browsing the front page with the filter set to All (Subscribed | Local | All)
If you are on a fairly popular instance, you will most likely run into posts from all kinds of new communities as other people from your instance fetch them.

Using the community browsers:

These websites index communities across all instances, and you can use them to search for remote communities.

In order to subscribe to or even see remote communities (communities hosted on other instances), they have to be fetched by your instance.

How to fetch them:

  • Copy the link to the community you want to fetch.
  • Go to the Communities page on your instance and set the filter to All.
  • Paste the link in the search field and click the Search button.
  • When the text saying "No results" under the Search button disappears, that means that the community has been successfully fetched by your instance (it can take a bit longer to fetch it, especially if the instance is overloaded).
  • That's it! Now you can delete the URL from the search field and find the community by its name.

Browsing the communities that promote new communities:

There are a few different communities that you can use to find new and interesting ones.
Some of them:

Browsing Kbin magazines (communities):

Process of subscribing to Kbin magazines is the same as subscribing to remote Lemmy communities.
If you go to https://kbin.social/magazines (or any other kbin instance and add /magazines at the end), you can browse and search for magazines.
To subscribe to one of them, follow the "How to fetch them" instruction from above.

You're not alone. I find the intra-Lemmy-instance searching to be... "sticky". sometimes it works as advertised and sometimes it doesn't. As I also just joined Lemmy, I can't say if this is a recent thing or its always been like this.

I would probably chalk the current issues with the massive influx of Redxiles just absolutely hammering lemmy.ml and the few largest instances. Keep at it, I find if you bash at your instance's search page enough eventually it might connect.

In the meantime, I compiled a bruteforce list of communities from the dozen or so largest Lemmy instances, and created [email protected] and [email protected]. See the Community listing here: https://lemmy.ca/post/612259
