I'm here from reddit, and thank you for these recommendations. Time for my neuroplasticity to kick in so I can learn how all this works.
Also here from Reddit. Lemmy actually feels like how Reddit *used *to feel in its early years, i.e. fresh community with fresh ideas. Love it!
Ya'll gonna have to nerd out with me now. 😎
Just wanted to say, thanks for hosting this instance! I'm a reddit refuge and this Lemmy instance has been really straightforward on how to get started.
Should this be edited to remove Beehaw now that they have de-federated?
AFAIK beehaw defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. Not lemmy.one at the moment
Did not realize this, thanks! 👍
They are only de-federated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works
Lemmy.one is still federated with those two and beehaw.org
That means it has no impact on us at all, afaik. I'm no pro but I just made a new account, after having a beehaw one, on this instance specifically to see if I could still see everything on all three, and I can.
Avoid beehaw
What don't you like about it? I find Beehaw pretty great. The only thing I could think of is that they've defederated some of the larger instances, but it's understandable given their content philosophy and the current state of moderation tools on Lemmy (really terrible).
Join us for all your sports talk over at https://fanaticus.social! We've got communities for all the major sports and their teams.
I also spent the past week forking the popular game day bot, redball, in order to bring game bots to lemmy! There are still a couple of kinks I'm working out but I've begun rolling them out to the teams' communities, starting with the baseball communities.
Check out:
And all the teams-specific communities!
!genderqueer@lemmy.one
We're open for all!~
Can somebody recommend me a community for people with cPTSD or abusive parents?
I'm late to getting games so I was very happy to find https://sh.itjust.works/c/patientgamers with how patientgamers was one my favorite communities back on reddit.
Does anyone know of any communities for pigeons or capybaras (or tbh any other weird-but-cute critters)?
Edit: adding some as I find them:
For those who missed /r/gamedeals and /r/buildapcsales while browsing lemmy
It pulls in posts from the reddit subs.
Does anyone have recommendations for communities on camping, hiking, and backpacking? Much appreciated.
Thank you for this. It's a nice starting point.
Skywind is officially on lemmy. They are Skyrim mod group that is doing a full conversion mod of Morrowind.
Hi! Does anyone know any good communities about the following topics:
-longboarding
-possum pictures and/or possum memes
Memmy for iOS makes it super easy to find and join communities. Highly recommended.
Theres some sciencey ones on Mander.xyz :
Mander has a list that is really long of many different disiplines so I just grabbed the ones that I thought would of intrest
A version of r/nostupidquestions: !nostupidquestions@mander.xyz
I appreciate you taking the time to share! I’ve only messed with Mastodon briefly and the fediverse is a little challenging to navigate at first (in my opinion).
I’ve been a lurker on the subreddit for ages and when I saw your post I decided it was time to check Lemmy out. Thanks for taking the time to set up an instance to keeps the community alive as Reddit implodes. Hopefully this works out or at least can act as a temporary home until we can figure out what is next.
Where are my fellow C programmers? And those who prefer Basic ( qb64 and Gambas welcome too)?
I'm still hoping that this community grows here, but so far the only one I found for C is !c_lang@programming.dev (all the other programming languages seem to also have a community on programming.dev instance)
!hfy@lemmy.world - A community for people who write or enjoy reading HFY themed fiction.
While traditional science fiction often presents humans as vulnerable masses seeking refuge from menacing aliens or as feeble beings overshadowed by aliens with superior logic, strength or empathy. HFY disrupts these archetypes by challenging the norm.
In the world of HFY, humanity is bestowed with exceptional qualities, giving rise to a sense of optimism and empowerment within the reader. It seeks to uplift and inspire, demonstrating the potential of human greatness and the capacity for overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds.
I've also found this post to be really helpful:
The growing list of subreddits going to be dark, but these are Lemmy or /kbin equivalents
I was going down the universal search tool list, subscribing to the communities that I was interested in, and I ran into an issue trying to sub to some of the communities. Thankfully I was able to quickly find the answer - anything that is on the block list under https://lemmy.one/instances you are not able to subscribe to from this instance.
Glad to see that Lemmygrad is on the blocklist.
What am I missing? I have subscribed to a few lemmy.ml communities here, but despite seeing https://lemmy.ml/c/overwatch2 as an extant community, trying to subscribe to !overwatch2@lemmy.ml returns errors/not found on lemmy.one's side. Is this community blocked here?
lemmy.ml has a lot of federation issues unfortunately (uptime issues in general, actually). There’s not much that can be done until their server is fixed, and yes I agree it’s very annoying, but they’re working on it 👍
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.
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?
Thanks for the great list and comments! Has anyone found communities for any of these?:
Is there an OutOfTheLoop? I keep finding vague allusions to beehaw defederating lemmy.world, but I have no idea where to ask what happened.
Beehaw appears to be staunchly against instances who allow open registration for any account. They want to foster a safe, friendly community and instances that allow open registration are a ripe spot for trolls and bad actors to register with Lemmy. Since these trolls and bad actors are then free to post on any federated instances, they can sign up on these open instances and attack places they otherwise wouldn't be allowed to register.
Do the the limited functionality of moderation between federated instances, they decided to defederate from the two fast growing, open registration instances. They've developed a plan with sh.itjust.works to build a path to refederating but Lemmy.world admins have been non-responsive to Beehaw's attempts to reach out to them about doing the same.
