Looking for cool communities? (lemmy.one)

Some people have been asking which communities they should join first, so I posted some remote communities you can subscribe to on the sidebar on the homepage :)

Find another cool community? Leave a comment :)

There's also this universal community search tool you can try using. If you find a community, just copy its URL and paste it in /search to subscribe to it here. This just goes to show that while there might not be many local communities here on lemmy.one yet, the beauty of the fediverse means that doesn't matter!

Click the copy icon to the right of the community name on the search tool, then go to https://lemmy.one/search and paste in the URL it copied, and the community should show up. If it doesn't immediately show up: wait 30 seconds, refresh the search page, and try again, and then it will work.

This process needs to be easier, somehow. New users are going to search, see it doesn't show up, assume everything is broken, and leave.

Thanks, this worked. I was searching "[email protected]" but they showed right up when I used full URL copied from the search tool.

That should work too, but maybe you need an ! at the beginning, like [[email protected]](/c/[email protected])
