Anyone here wanting to join a sub similar to a Reddit one, but it's not here and you don't want to make it because you don't wanna be in charge? (lemmy.world)

I need a list like browse.feddit.de that you can actually subscribe from. If theres a way to do that, i dont see it.

https://lemmyverse.net/communities it’s new and much easier to copy paste from

[-] Dick_Justice@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Where do you copy and paste it to though? If i copy, for example, the first one listed, Announcements, then go back to lemmy.world and paste it into the community search, it comes up as !announcements@lemmy.ml, and the searrch comes up blank. If I manually type just "announcements" and search, I get results, but that's what I'm already doing.

You copy any community address such that it looks like this, a community at our instance for example:

!cybersecurity@lemmy.pro

And return to being back on your own instance (Lemmy.world it seems) and are logged in.

In your main menu there is a small search icon, tap that and enter the address like above and hit search. It can take some time to appear these days, but eventually the community link will show up, maybe at the bottom under posts that included it.

This hit sidebar, and then can find join and comment

Thank you! I don't know what I was doing before, but you got me there!

@txgn@lemmy.txgn.net says he's gonna work on that for his lemmy explorer: https://github.com/tgxn/lemmy-explorer/issues/5

Personally, I'm planning to try and integrate that lemmy explorer directly into our instance to do this automatically, but there's some changes I think I want to make first regarding how lemmy works.
