No such thing. Ask away!

2-Your question subject cannot be illegal and/or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.

3-Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. It’s not safe and there will be niche communities for that.

5-Questions we suspect of being leading questions or asked merely to promote an agenda or sealioning are not allowed.

Rule 6-Provided it is about Lemmy or the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.

I just found out @Midwest.social exists after finding the Chicago community there. I was trying to list out other communities on that instance and couldn't quite figure it out. Do I have to visit Midwest.social in order to list them, or is there a way to do it from lemmy.world?

Not that I know of without going to that instance, and possibly signing up on that instance depending on how they have it set up. Then to actually subscribe you have to manually copy the URLs into the search bar of your home instance. It's definitely an issue, and I hope they streamline subscribing to remote communities soon.

Instance A does not know about the existence of instance B until some user on instance A requests a community from instance B; and even then it doesn't know about all the other communities on instance B.

By analogy with email: You don't have George Bazooka-Smith in your email contacts, because you've never sent or received email with him.

You can use third party sites to find communities, if you're not seeing them in the search (because they haven't federated yet) with one of these:

https://lemmyverse.net/ https://browse.feddit.de/

But that's still going to a third party site so it would nice to have it integrated into the interface.

You can go to the list on the instance at /communities.

e.g., https://midwest.social/communities
