Check out !newcommunities@lemmy.world for new communities that pop up. :)

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.

It's getting better! All the time! This was just posted yesterday.

There are... some of us!

Only a matter of time. :)

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

nice instance!

!visualnovels@lemmy.comfysnug.space Is a fresh community for discussing everything Visual Novel related. Hope it grows.

I recently started a community for the author Stephen King

!stephenking@mander.xyz

I suppose it's my time to shine! (Self promotion time)

!board_games@lemmy.ca !tabletop_rpgs@lemmy.ca Drop on in!

for some reason I can't enter from https://iusearchlinux.fyi @justdrop@iusearchlinux.fyi

I've fixed the links, give it another go?

!guineapigs@lemmy.tf

I just created a community where people can discuss old internet or software topics

Topics can be sites/fads/software/games/memes or any general happenings that used to occur on computers way back in the day.

You can think of this as a sister community to the retro hardware community !retrocomputing@lemmy.sdf.org

here are some links you can use to find us!:

retroNET

!retronet@lemmy.sdf.org

https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/retronet

https://browse.feddit.de/ is your friend.

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.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 !random@fedia.io.

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

https://lemmy.world/c/gratefuldead !gratefuldead@lemmy.world

!anarchychess@sopuli.xyz is back and proud to en passant the shit out of you

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

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: !selfhosting@slrpnk.net "

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.

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.

Oh thx good to knwo :)

If you're the type of gamer who likes to play things at their own pace, and are (mostly) impervious to hype, then !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works is made for you!

Also be sure to x-post these to !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca.

Also search for stuff at !lemmy411@lemmy.ca

About China: https://latte.isnot.coffee/c/china

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.

If you are Italian, you can use https://reddit.it for basically anything italy

We need some posts on idiotsincars. Please drop in!

When I click your link it completely closes Jerboa.

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 found these two vaporwave communities recently

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.

looks like the devs are aware, hopefully this gets prioritized because it really is confusing for new users

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/369

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

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/

I have having trouble with this too.

!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.

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