Hello Lemmings (I have no idea what Lemmy users are called) I’m a reddit migrator. I’m still a little confused, but I’d like to learn. How do I find communities? If I want to discuss Warhammer or Steam games, or something like that, what’s the best way to find that content? If it matters I am on the phone app.
@Protoknuckles@lemmy.world I just started an AoS community here: !ageofsigmar@lemmy.ca
Direct URL: https://lemmy.ca/c/ageofsigmar
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !ageofsigmar@lemmy.ca
- search on here https://browse.feddit.de/
- hit the copy button and go to your lemmy tab that has you signed in and search for that url you copied (I open that community in a new tab)
- sometimes it takes a few trys hitting the search button for it to show up
- then hit the community name on the sidebar if the subscribe button doesnt load a proper button to click
- then if it says subscription pending just hit it and hit subscribe again, repeat until it says Joined-
I like lemmings, lol. It’s cute.
If you found a community, for example via https://browse.feddit.de/, but get a 404 error when visiting it:
Try searching for the community with a bang prefixed: !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
This will “discover” the community for your instance. When coming from a big instance like lemmy.world this is probably rarely necessary. Only one lemming has to discover a remote community to unlock it for all other lemmings on the same instance.
But someone has to be the first, and that lemming must bang it.
Don’t know, I’m just using lemmy.
Not that it helps with your question, but there is also a wiki which we probably should use much more: https://joinfediverse.wiki/What_is_Lemmy%3F
On kbin.soxial it’s as easy as going to the magazine list and searching for things you might be interested in. It’ll show you mags across all hosters. Not sure if lemmy.world has any similar search.
