Mander.xyz 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Only a matter of time. :)

I always liked browsing houseplants on reddit and being in awe, considering I'm the most prolific houseplant serial killer of all time

[email protected] Is a fresh community for discussing everything Visual Novel related. Hope it grows.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 [email protected] for English language discussion about Germany.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If kbin is able to scale up, will we be able to interact with kbin through lemmy, like we do with other lemmy communities?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

When I first got here, kbin.social was interacting with Lemmy just fine. They turned on cloudflare DDoS protection and it broke their federation is my understanding. Fedia.io is a different kbin server that should be federating like normal. Try checking out [email protected].

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yep! It should be almost exactly the same!

I created a Grateful Dead community on lemmy.world, we've already got a few people participating and I'd love to see it grow

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?

https://browse.feddit.de/

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I have having trouble with this too, except some communities in the instance show up, and some don't.

[email protected] doesn't show up in the community browser, despite smaller comms made around the same period like [email protected] showing up just fine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

So I've found that lemmyverse.net is more consistent and works much better than browse.feddit.de as a lemmy community browser

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Right? It seems so random. I wish I could find out who made it so I can ask them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I still don't quite understand how to subscribe to other communities on this thing.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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: [email protected] "

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it's when you format a link like this /c/community@instance, instead of the full url. Example Link so regardless of your particular server instance, that link will stay local, if the linked community is not yet synced (federated) it will 404 though, that will happen a lot for a the first few weeks of growing this service, particularly if you are on a smaller server that might be updating slower or is under strain.

https://feddit.de has a few German language communities of you're interested in such stuff.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Machen wir das hier auch wie auf reddit, dass das ErwΓ€hnen eines deutschen Unters sofort alle deutschen Nutzer aus allen Ecken herbeistrΓΆmen lΓ€sst?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

NatΓΌrlich!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

It's a small community but I like [email protected] (I really think we need a better way to link communities.)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We just need to understand the convention

Instead of r/<community name> we have !<community name>@<instance name>

I think it's doable

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

If I format a link like this : link it technically works in an instance agnostic way, but you are going to hit a lot of 404s on smaller communities until those communities federate out into the wider network. !memes

I am using vlemmy! Small community but very helpful
