/r/blind community migrates to Lemmy
(lemmy.one)
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
Subcommunities on Beehaw:
This community's icon was made by Aaron Schneider, under the CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.
This might just be me being a noob, but how to I subscribe to this community? I tried typing !main@rblind.com into the communities tab (I'm using Jerboa) and nothing came up.
It's kinda tricksy. You need to visit the comm from within your own instance. The easiest way is to click Communities, then All, then search for it - however you have to know what you're looking for, and you can't filter or sort by instance.
In this case, searching would be hard, as the comm is called "main". There are probably lots of other mains in different instances.
For you, try beehaw.org/c/main@rblind.com. However, it could be that it's too new for your instance to know about it, in which case I'm not sure but you may just have to wait until beehaw federates with it.
I think there's also a generic way to format links such that anyone can click them from their own instance and get their instance's version, however I haven't learned that yet. Something like !main@rblind.com. Also, things can work different on apps vs the website - for example Jerboa only lets you browse comms you're subbed to.
Often, a quick way to link communities is by formatting a hyperlink like this
[Visible-text-to-click](/c/community@instance.tld)
For a this example, formatting the text like
[this link](/c/main@rblind.com)
would create this link that most* people can click on that will bring them to that community.*Kbin users will need to replace the
/c/
with/m/
As a note for Jerboa users: the above link may instantly crash the app. At least, it does for me.
Yep, that's what I've found. I'm thinking of scrapping the app in favour of the website tbh, at least for now.
Ya, I've been told that it's a known bug that they're working on. I still like it as a reader, but to do any sort of adjustment to your account, such as finding communities and adding them, or interacting with replies to your posts, the website is more useful right now.
Hopefully it can catch up soon with the big reddit exodus happening.
