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.
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
Unapologetic shill time:
Ya'll gonna have to nerd out with me now. 😎
Check out !newcommunities@lemmy.world for new communities that pop up. :)
Lemmy 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.
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.
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.
I created lotrmemes@midwest.social for those of you that like lotr memes
It would be nice to see a new home for Tabletop Game Design; much enjoyed the discussions around both role playing and board/card games alike.
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?
!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
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.
I still don't quite understand how to subscribe to other communities on this thing.
I did the following on Jerboa
Having said that, there's probably a simpler way to do this. Still early in the learning process.
Overall, this is the biggest issue with jerboa. Not being able to get to other communities on other instances makes discovery next to impossible
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.
I made !curlyhair@lemmy.world as an alternative to r/curlyhair. You can also search for new communities at !newcommunities@lemmy.world.
Does anyone know how to add new instances to the Lemmy Community Browser? It doesn't have the one I'm from nor the communities from it. Are they automatically scraping communities somehow or is there a dev we can ask them to add new communities and instances to?
I suppose it's my time to shine! (Self promotion time)
!board_games@lemmy.ca !tabletop_rpgs@lemmy.ca Drop on in!
!conlang@lemmygrad.ml for the conlangers out there.
!esperanto@sopuli.xyz por la internacia lingvo.
!ttrpgs@lemmy.blahaj.zone as a TTRPG community
!main@feddit.de als Deutsche Community in Lemmy
Ha, I was gonna recommend retro on sdf.
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
https://lemmy.ml/c/chatgpt specifically
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
I'll shill the ones I made!
Destiny for the game Destiny, hopefully to fill in for r/destinythegame
Depressive Suicidal Black Metal for depressive suicidal black metal, my favorite genre
Shoegaze for shoegaze, another favorite of mine
Metal Memes for dumb metal memes
!visualnovels@lemmy.comfysnug.space Is a fresh community for discussing everything Visual Novel related. Hope it grows.
I made !uraniumglass@lemmy.villa-straylight.social for collectors of uranium glass to show off their finds!
The big things I’ve been missing here are a horror community and a synthwave/outrun/vaporwave aesthetics community. I might have to just make my own.
!cats@midwest.social
!boardgames@feddit.de
(can't figure out the links...)
It's certainly something to see all the different instance names :)
It's a small community but I like !engrish@vlemmy.net (I really think we need a better way to link communities.)
We just need to understand the convention
Instead of r/<community name> we have !<community name>@<instance name>
I think it's doable
Yeah but instead of just being able to click the link and subscribe you have to copy/paste the link in to the search bar on an entirely different page and then make sure all your search filters are set correctly and then maybe wait a bit if no one has accessed it before from your instance and then you can click subscribe. It needs to be way easier than that, like with RES you could just hover over a linked subreddit and click subscribe without ever even leaving the page.
looks like the devs are aware, hopefully this gets prioritized because it really is confusing for new users
Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.
