Edit: Fixed links for desktop, no idea if it works the same for mobile apps
Write it like [/c/sublemmy@lemmy.server](/c/sublemmy@lemmy.server) and it will link correctly. If it’s giving you a 404 error just wait a minute and try again, the server needs to download the sub first
If you format your links like this…
the links will be clickable and the user can subscribe to them from their home instance.
Thanks, I don’t know the proper way of formatting yet as it seems to depend on who you ask. Early days still.
Edit: Getting a 404 error when following that link on my sh.itjust.works instance. Think this is part of the problem.
To make the link work,
- I signed up for a profile on https://sh.itjust.works
- I searched for the community on https://browse.feddit.de to get the link
- I copied and pasted the link into the search field of https://sh.itjust.works
- searched for Monero and the community now showed up
Had to do all that to make the link work. 🤦
That is likely because you instance hasn’t pulled the information about the community.
For me the reliable way to make it do so is to type it into a search bar (in the format !community@instance), as the message in the sidebar of communities on other instances say. And then refresh the page, to see that it actually did that.
Warning: if you are using Jerboa, the /c/ notation will crash the app, at least the playstore version (0.0.33), I don’t know if its fixed on the latest version
No not at all. Just try pasting https://lemmy.ml/c/piracynews Into the search page. It should bring up a link to the community in the search results, maybe immediately if someone from dbzer0.com has already subscribed there, if not it might take a few seconds. You should be able to follow the link in search and subscribe in the sidebar once you get there.
@sneakyninjapants Great post, thanks for sharing!
It’s called Communities, not groups :)
On reddit it’s called subreddits, on the fediverse (lemmy, kbin) it’s communities!
On Lemmy they call them communities, same for other Fediverse software like Kbin and Mastadon. I like Lemmy because it’s most “Reddit like”, but Mastadon is more mature and slicker. It resembles Twitter more.
It’s the move of the piracy sub from Reddit that pushed me over to Lemmy. I’m really glad it gave me the push to do it. Had Lemmy bookmarked for a long time, but never motivated on it.
I have interest in other communities as well. There’s a pretty healthy set on the Fediverse. Here’s a site that’s helpful in finding them on Lemmy; https://lemmyverse.net
I’m still working on adding communites and getting used to the interface so I don’t have any suggestions, but it doesn’t seem there’s a lack of active content there.
Oh boy, here I go…
- !startrek@startrek.website
- !risa@startrek.website
- !memes@lemmy.ml
- !ich_iel@feddit.de (German memes)
- !youshouldknow@lemmy.world
- !gaming@beehaw.org
- !tabletopminis@lemmy.world
- !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world
- !asklemmy@lemmy.ml
Edit: And just in case: You don’t have to make an extra account for those. Just search the community name either in your communit’s section in the browser (top left and don’t forget to select “all” to get everything) or search them in your app (On Android it’s on the bottom second icon from the left).
I see you have a table top minis one. By any chance, have you come across any good board gaming communities?
Over at Lemmy.ninja we maintain a community for finding communities called Community Search Tips. We started this because it was surprisingly hard to figure out what to subscribe to when you’re brand new. Probably the best resource for finding communities is the feddit.de Community browser. I like it because the results are sorted by post count, which is helpful for finding active communities.
Here’s my subscribed list as of right now. (Keep in mind my cake day is June 13.)
