Ya’ll gonna have to nerd out with me now. 😎
Check out !newcommunities@lemmy.world for new communities that pop up. :)
Lemmy 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.
Only a matter of time. :)
It’s getting better! All the time! This was just posted yesterday.
There are… some of us!
ooh, a lot of good ones there!
I always liked browsing houseplants on reddit and being in awe, considering I’m the most prolific houseplant serial killer of all time
nice instance!
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.
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.
omg thank you this solves like 80% of the issues I’ve had lol
Yep, just did that it works great, but will only work for the included domains.
Thanks for this
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 hear you – thanks! I guess I need to figure out how to copy that link text in Jerboa, haha.
https://feddit.de has a few German language communities of you’re interested in such stuff.
Machen wir das hier auch wie auf reddit, dass das Erwähnen eines deutschen Unters sofort alle deutschen Nutzer aus allen Ecken herbeiströmen lässt?
Sie haben gerufen, der Herr?
Diese Kommentarspalte ist nun Besitz der Bundesrepublik Deutschland
Verstanden, Sir.
Zwingst du uns nu zu den 3-5 laut gerufenen Worten? Ich find das ja eher unnötig und provokant.
Stimmt schon, aber sofern es unpolitisch bleibt ist das oft aus Sicht anderer User einfach eine Kommentarsequenz in einer komischen Sprace, an der man vorbei scrollt. Quasi bizarre Deko ohne böse Absicht :)
Ja?
Natürlich!
Ich leiste auf jeden Fall meinen Beitrag!
Jawohl!
I created lotrmemes@midwest.social for those of you that like lotr memes
Think it needs to be posted as !lotrmemes@midwest.social in order for it to be clickable in certain clients, like Jerboa.
Edit: Well, I finally got the format right but the link crashed Jerboa. IDFK.
For me jerboa still opens them in browser every time :S
It seems that with the influx of users there are server problems. Or it’s a bug with the new jerboa update
You have my bow.
Hnnnnng, must… not… say… it
PO-TAY-TOES
Wait, fuck. Wrong line.
Thank you for making that. I loved that subreddit and now I can still get my fix. Loving the new memes about reddit.
The Middle-West-Earth
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.
For now, I guess !ttrpgs@lemmy.blahaj.zone can help.
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.
I found these two vaporwave communities recently
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 !germany@feddit.de for English language discussion about Germany.
If kbin is able to scale up, will we be able to interact with kbin through lemmy, like we do with other lemmy communities?
When I first got here, kbin’s main server, kbin.social, was interacting with Lemmy just fine. They turned on cloudflare DDoS protection and it broke their federation is my understanding. Fedia.io is a different kbin server that should be federating like normal. Try checking out !random@fedia.io.
Yep! It should be almost exactly the same!

A community for new communities, how meta! And yeah, will come in handy
I got this:
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
I made !curlyhair@lemmy.world as an alternative to r/curlyhair. You can also search for new communities at !newcommunities@lemmy.world.
love the newcommunities idea, I subscribed!
Appreciate it :)
!visualnovels@lemmy.comfysnug.space Is a fresh community for discussing everything Visual Novel related. Hope it grows.
I made !hololive@reddthat.com as an alternative to r/hololive
I suppose it’s my time to shine! (Self promotion time)
!board_games@lemmy.ca !tabletop_rpgs@lemmy.ca Drop on in!
for some reason I can’t enter from https://iusearchlinux.fyi @justdrop@iusearchlinux.fyi
I’ve fixed the links, give it another go?
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?
I also would like to know this
How old is your instance, are you sure it’s set up correctly? Are you visiting and subbing from your instance to others? I think all that helps. Our instance is also very new and it seems to be federated ok as far as I can tell. And with a lot of connecting to other communities I think our “All” feed is working.
No idea, I didn’t make it. Probably about a week old if I’d guess. I am visiting and subbing to other instances. The All feed seems to be working okay, too. It’s federated as far as I can tell, but still doesn’t appear in that Lemmy Community Browser site: https://browse.feddit.de/
I’m having trouble with this too, except some communities in the instance show up, and some don’t.
!animemidriff@lemmynsfw.com doesn’t show up in the community browser, despite smaller comms made around the same period like !animefeet@lemmynsfw.com showing up just fine.
So I’ve found that lemmyverse.net is more consistent and works much better than browse.feddit.de as a lemmy community browser
!conlang@lemmygrad.ml for the conlangers out there.
!esperanto@sopuli.xyz por la internacia lingvo.
!ttrpgs@lemmy.blahaj.zone as a TTRPG community
!main@feddit.de als Deutsche Community in Lemmy
I’ll shill mine, a community for Manchester United fans
Nice to see sports people on Lemmy
