let’s spread the love so other instances/communities can be discovered easier
here are a few I recommend:
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.
nice! I subscribed to !programming@programming.dev
Mandatory email when other instances have optional is a bit difficult for me to go through
You don’t have to create an account on the instance to subscribe to their communities.
You can, for example, search for !programming@programming.dev to index that community from your home instance.
Ah, that’s better
You can also go to eg. beehaw.org/c/programming@programming.dev to see that instance’s programming community on Beehaw
Been trying to sign up for a day now and havent been able to
Spinning circle after clicking the Sign Up button? That has been my experience with multiple sites now.
Yeah. I believe there’s a bug but I havent really had the time to look into it. My other site lemmydeals.com works perfectly though and they’re setup the same way.
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.
Yep, just did that it works great, but will only work for the included domains.
omg thank you this solves like 80% of the issues I’ve had lol
Thanks for this
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
I hear you – thanks! I guess I need to figure out how to copy that link text in Jerboa, haha.
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.
Clickable link for the reader :)
Edit: I came back after 13hours because I finally found out how to properly link others to another community
Don’t worry it’s not a competition! In fact a non-beehaw user would be helpful in suggesting communities that beehaw users might not aware of.
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.
It’s getting better! All the time! This was just posted yesterday.
There are… some of us!
Only a matter of time. :)
nice instance!
ooh, a lot of good ones there!
I always liked browsing houseplants on reddit and being in awe, considering I’m the most prolific houseplant serial killer of all time
I created lotrmemes@midwest.social for those of you that like lotr memes
Thank you for making that. I loved that subreddit and now I can still get my fix. Loving the new memes about reddit.
Think it needs to be posted as !lotrmemes@midwest.social in order for it to be clickable in certain clients, like Jerboa.
Edit: Well, I finally got the format right but the link crashed Jerboa. IDFK.
It seems that with the influx of users there are server problems. Or it’s a bug with the new jerboa update
For me jerboa still opens them in browser every time :S
You have my bow.
Hnnnnng, must… not… say… it
PO-TAY-TOES
Wait, fuck. Wrong line.
And my hacks!
The Middle-West-Earth
!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!
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?
Sie haben gerufen, der Herr?
Diese Kommentarspalte ist nun Besitz der Bundesrepublik Deutschland
Ja?
Ich leiste auf jeden Fall meinen Beitrag!
Zwingst du uns nu zu den 3-5 laut gerufenen Worten? Ich find das ja eher unnötig und provokant.
Verstanden, Sir.
Anwesend!
Jawohl!
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.
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 also would like to know this
I’m having trouble with this too, except some communities in the instance show up, and some don’t.
!animemidriff@lemmynsfw.com doesn’t show up in the community browser, despite smaller comms made around the same period like !animefeet@lemmynsfw.com showing up just fine.
So I’ve found that lemmyverse.net is more consistent and works much better than browse.feddit.de as a lemmy community browser
How old is your instance, are you sure it’s set up correctly? Are you visiting and subbing from your instance to others? I think all that helps. Our instance is also very new and it seems to be federated ok as far as I can tell. And with a lot of connecting to other communities I think our “All” feed is working.
No idea, I didn’t make it. Probably about a week old if I’d guess. I am visiting and subbing to other instances. The All feed seems to be working okay, too. It’s federated as far as I can tell, but still doesn’t appear in that Lemmy Community Browser site: https://browse.feddit.de/
Yeah, I noticed something similar. And occasionally it seems like instances disappear from it. I noticed that beehaw communities showed up a few days ago, but they didn’t today.
Also be sure to x-post these to !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca.
Also search for stuff at !lemmy411@lemmy.ca
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.
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.
If kbin is able to scale up, will we be able to interact with kbin through lemmy, like we do with other lemmy communities?
When I first got here, kbin’s main server, kbin.social, was interacting with Lemmy just fine. They turned on cloudflare to protect from DDoS attacks and it broke their federation is my understanding. Fedia.io is a different kbin server that should be federating like normal. Try checking out !random@fedia.io.
Yep! It should be almost exactly the same!
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.
I made !hololive@reddthat.com as an alternative to r/hololive
I made !curlyhair@lemmy.world as an alternative to r/curlyhair. You can also search for new communities at !newcommunities@lemmy.world.
love the newcommunities idea, I subscribed!
Appreciate it :)
