I've already started seeing a lot of redundant communities being made here that have already existed on other Lemmy instances, and lemmy.ml is at risk of centralization and overload, so now is a great time to raise awareness of other instances.

For science topics, mander.xyz has a lot of good ones set up, and !solarpunk@slrpnk.net on slrpnk.net has been great!

edit: for new users - you can type ! to begin autofilling a community, even for ones on other instances, like I did for the solarpunk community above. It may take a few seconds for the autofill results to show up if you have a slow connection like me.

I launched lemmy.studio today, with the intent of hosting some music communities (music production, genres, different media, DAWs, etc.).

Fantastic, I was looking for my /r/ableton replacement. Thanks!

[–] beto@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Feel free to create a community for Ableton there, or if you don't want to moderate it I'm happy to create it as well!

Gotta plug my instance :)

PopHeads and fans of pop music rejoice, I have an entire instance just for you. Come and post all of your pop music theories, favorite tracks, costumes, memes, snarky comments, and all other related things. Hell, create a new community if you like!

Will be creating more as interest demands, or create one of your own, we know there's already a few fans of Camila Cabello there and I know I love CRJ :)

Oh, and to ease the stress, my registration is currently open for any lurkers

[–] _ed@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Great to see a topical rather than a generalist instance!

That's what I thought when I set it up, I could either go broad with a few things I like, but I think if we're going to really see lemmy expand we need to see topical servers. People are welcome to register on my server if they like, but I view it more as a "import this to yours instance to enhance your communities".

[–] zalack@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is there a guide for how to register on multiple Lemmy instances? I am registered here, but noticed that I can't subscribe to communities on other instances? I assume I need to register there as well, but how do I get my subscriptions on both instances to funnel into the same place?

Thanks! Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 16 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Nope you can subscribe to other lemmy instances. You just need to know their link. For example, if you want to follow my Taylor Swift community and become a full blown swiftie like me, you can do this: (Make sure All, All, and All are selected when searching)

[–] zalack@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the swift response!

[–] kethali@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

While fine for me, I thnk this is going to be one of the bigger hurdles for newer users. It's not the most obvious, really. I'm not sure what could help, maybe some bookmarklet exists to make it simpler to subscribe via the instance you're using?

Completely agree, it's a major pain point. I've opened some issues on Github around it. Reddit had a manifesto that joining communities should the easiest thing to do, and we need to do the same here.

I quite like that Beecaw doesn't federate the Tankies.

I don't really need a genocide denying group ofauthoritarians in my face first thing in the morning.

[–] cavemeat 6 points 1 year ago

you're so real for this

[–] frippa@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] CrimsonOnoscopy 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're going to need a lot more of those to live up to the great Reactionary Counter-Revolutionaries so widely admired by tankies.

GenZedong and other communities shilling on lemmygrad. Some of these accounts post multiple pro-china, pro-russia, anti-usa articles per hour. I'm all for open discussion, but accounts like that are just propaganda pumpers

To be clear, not everyone and everything on lemmygrad is a tankie shill. We need places that are safe for discussion of political ideologies. But I mention lemmygrad because that's where the tankies seem to be flocking

[–] Rhabuko@feddit.de 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (9 children)

I'm on feddit.de, which is a German server whith a friendly community. There's also feddit.it and feddit.dk for Italian or danish people. Would be cool if we see more European feddits, that work together and help each other out.

And for my favorite communities that aren't on lemmy.ml

!gaming on beehaw.org and !ich_iel (which is the German version of me_irl) on feddit.de

I quite like !privacyguides@lemmy.one It migrated from reddit, and the mods run their own instance rather than just making a community on lemmy.ml

How does one follow a community from another instance. for instance, beehaw's gaming community I would like to follow, but when i am there, it makes be create a separate account.

[–] Kamirose 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In addition to what @Barbarian@lemmy.ml mentioned about changing the filter and searching, you can link it from your own instance like so:

https://lemmy.ml/c/gaming@beehaw.org

You can also grab the URL to any community or post on another instance, return to your own instance, and paste the URL into the search bar. If you're the first person to ever search for that server it might not find anything at first, but it'll fetch the data and probably work in a couple minutes.

[–] 1rre@lemmy.org.uk 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I think you may be able to use relative links, eg:
gaming@beehaw.org

^ That one is done with [gaming@beehaw.org](/c/gaming@beehaw.org)
I don't think [!gaming@beehaw.org](/c/gaming@beehaw.org) works alone though?

Go to Communities at the top, change the filter from "Local" to "All" and search for "Gaming".

If you're the first one who wants to register to a community from this server (not the case here) it's slightly more complex.

Communism and Tankies are cringe.

[–] ScarletCoconut 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Tankies, when you don’t like the owning class exploiting workers, so you make the state exploit workers ☹️

The first rule of moretankie196 is you do not talk about the first rule.

How do I subscribe to that sopuli one, since it doesn't show up in my local search results?

[–] phox@syrma.cc 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It should show up if you type it into your search bar like this !map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz

If that doesn’t work try copypasting lemmy.one/c/map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz in your adress bar. That’s how I subscribe to global communities from my own instance since the search can be slow at times.

[–] Bricriu@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The search didn't work for me, coming from lemmy.one. Didn't even show a "no results" message. Copypastaing the whole URL worked, but that is a deeply wonky interface :(

Thank you though! Subscribed.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 year ago

If you're the first one to try to search for a community on your server, it seems to get a bit wonky. But if you try to search it again now, it will probably show fine.

[–] comfy@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Is there an option to do All search results instead of local?

[–] comfy@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Oooh, I didn't know about the map enthusiasts one :)

[–] DudePluto@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Tip: If you're thinking about making a community, google it first, like this:

Let's say I want to make a community for dogs. I'll google "c/dogs lemmy" and some variations just to be sure.

This has been working for me. If it doesn't come up, it probably doesn't exist
