There’s also this universal community search tool you can try using. If you find a community, just copy its URL and paste it in /search to subscribe to it here. This just goes to show that while there might not be many local communities here on lemmy.one yet, the beauty of the fediverse means that doesn’t matter!

    I think the reddit hug of love is affecting things today on the 12th.

    Just a general question, on a mobile device is using your browser or an app the better experience? And if using an app is Jaebra the one most people use?

      I prefer the browser to apps personally, this is actually one of the main reasons I like Lemmy over Reddit and it’s unusable mobile view. You’ll find plenty of mobile app users here too and it sounds like it works fine, I’ll just caution that some (all?) of them sound like they’re feature-incomplete, so if you ever think something is missing from Lemmy, double-check on the website first, because it might just not be added to the app yet.

        Yeah, most of them are still in Alpha. It’s fun to see them grow and change with each update, but you are correct that many features are either broken/incomplete or just missing from them at this point. They’re doing a terrific job with Jerboa, for anyone looking for an android client. It’s very usable!

      Was just wondering about that. Jerboa pushed a major update today so I thought it was that, but on desktop I am getting 403’s and timeout galore today. Just try to be patient - growing the platform is a GOOD thing, but real people host these instances in most cases, and fixes take resources!

      I’m actually impressed it seems to be holding up rather well from what I’m seeing. Is there anywhere to view the uptick in traffic?
