On the midwest.social front page there is a “Communities from our friends:” section that links to communities on other servers.
Rather than linking to those servers, I would recommend that you link to those communities via midwest.social to make it easier for people to join them. i.e.
https://midwest.social/c/science@beehaw.org instead of https://beehaw.org/c/science.
I’ve been seeing posts of people creating accounts on different Lemmy servers to join communities because they don’t understand that they can join any community on any server.
Thanks!
Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll edit the sidebar tomorrow with those changes.
