what are some good communities NOT on beehaw.org or lemmy.ml?

lackthought@lemmy.sdf.org to Chat@beehaw.org – 12 points –

let's spread the love so other instances/communities can be discovered easier

here are a few I recommend:

!retrocomputing@lemmy.sdf.org

!selfhosted@lemmy.world

!steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

!hockey@lemmy.ca

!moviesandtv@lemmy.film

It's a small community but I like !engrish@vlemmy.net (I really think we need a better way to link communities.)

We just need to understand the convention

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

I think it's doable

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.

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
