let’s spread the love so other instances/communities can be discovered easier
here are a few I recommend:
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.
Yep, just did that it works great, but will only work for the included domains.
omg thank you this solves like 80% of the issues I’ve had lol
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.
I feel little bit like cheater - I am not on beehaw that often.
I mostly post on homebrewing community on https://sopuli.xyz/c/homebrewing
Trying to grow it because I loved brewing subreddits.
Don’t worry it’s not a competition! In fact a non-beehaw user would be helpful in suggesting communities that beehaw users might not aware of.
https://programming.dev/ is a programming focused server. It has communities for a few different languages. It’s not too popular yet but I hope it will be in the future.
Mandatory email when other instances have optional is a bit difficult for me to go through
You don’t have to create an account on the instance to subscribe to their communities.
You can, for example, search for !programming@programming.dev to index that community from your home instance.
Ah, that’s better
You can also go to eg. beehaw.org/c/programming@programming.dev to see that instance’s programming community
Been trying to sign up for a day now and havent been able to
Spinning circle after clicking the Sign Up button? That has been my experience with multiple sites now.
Yeah. I believe there’s a bug but I havent really had the time to look into it. My other site lemmydeals.com works perfectly though and they’re setup the same way.
nice! I subscribed to !programming@programming.dev
Unapologetic shill time:

Ya’ll gonna have to nerd out with me now. 😎
Check out !newcommunities@lemmy.world for new communities that pop up. :)
Mander.xyz 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!
nice instance!
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
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.
It seems that with the influx of users there are server problems. Or it’s a bug with the new jerboa update
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
You have my bow.
Hnnnnng, must… not… say… it
PO-TAY-TOES
Wait, fuck. Wrong line.
!sailing!sailing@lemmy.world
My husband created this for sailing enthusiasts and it’d be awesome to see it get more active. You don’t have to be an experienced sailor. Just enthusiasm for the hobby/sport!
Also be sure to x-post these to !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca.
Also search for stuff at !lemmy411@lemmy.ca
Post before leaving~
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?
Ich leiste auf jeden Fall meinen Beitrag!
Sie haben gerufen, der Herr?
Diese Kommentarspalte ist nun Besitz der Bundesrepublik Deutschland
Ja?
Verstanden, Sir.
Natürlich!
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 :)
Jawohl!
I still don’t quite understand how to subscribe to other communities on this thing.
I did the following on Jerboa
- save this post (we’ll be revisiting this a few times)
- go to the search function that is indicated by the bulleted list icon
- enter the community name (without the @… part)
- there’ll be a few results
- tap on them, see the posts if you want, and tap the subscribe button and see that it shows joined
- go to saved posts, repeat until subscribed to every community you want
Having said that, there’s probably a simpler way to do this. Still early in the learning process.
+1 Thanks for sharing this information! I know that there’s going to be a bit of a learning curve for the new platform and I appreciate you helping us all out!
that worked. I missed the sidebar button. I’m still not sure how to find it on ios app I downloaded but found it on web
Overall, this is the biggest issue with jerboa. Not being able to get to other communities on other instances makes discovery next to impossible
Just use the upper left menu to switch to “all”. That’s what I am doing right now in jerboa.
Good on you giving useful instructions for everyone . I got stuck with the wrong order of instance then community and was confused for a while
I will normaly just go to the community on the instance of the community and then on the right side (don’t know about mobile) there is:
" You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosting@slrpnk.net "
on my instance you also have to add to the search that all servers schould be searched. And then it works out.
Also some of links when I start brwosing the fediverse from my instance also bring me to the community without leaving my home instance but i didn’t figured this out jet.
it’s when you format a link like this /c/community@instance, instead of the full url. Example Link so regardless of your particular server instance, that link will stay local, if the linked community is not yet synced (federated) it will 404 though, that will happen a lot for a the first few weeks of growing this service, particularly if you are on a smaller server that might be updating slower or is under strain.

Oh thx good to knwo :)
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 :)
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.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!
I suppose it’s my time to shine! (Self promotion time)
!boardgames@lemmy.ca !tabletop-rpgs@lemmy.ca Drop on in!
https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/freemediaheckyeah is a piracy focused instance. Pretty dope, plus I didn’t get stuck in registration limbo they just have a basic sign up.
Does anyone know why I can see a ChatGPT sub-lemmy on lemmy.ml but can’t on feddit.uk?
I made a new account on feddit.uk to help spread load from lemmy.ml but I can’t see this and some other specific communities that I was subscribed to on the other instance.
Iv tried search all communities etc not just local
That particular community has probably never been fetched by your instance of choice, after searching it wait a couple of seconds and it should appear. From that moment onwards anyone who searches it from your instance should have no problem to find it.
Hmm gave it 5 mins and kept trying, didn’t change anything Lemmy.ml is having 404 issues right now though so may be related to that
Update: found it! Showed up a few hours later
