let’s spread the love so other instances/communities can be discovered easier
here are a few I recommend:
OT: In Jerboa (lemmy app), why does clicking those community links open in a browser?
My understanding is that if I want to engage with a community on another instance, I need to “go to” that community from my own instance… right?
But when Jerboa opens the community in a browser, I can’t subscribe or anything since at that point I’m “on” the other instance, which of course has no idea who I am.
For Jerboa, if it’s not on one of the instances it is set to open, it’ll default to your browser.
They’re working on expanding it past their default list, but to enable those long press on Jerboa > App Info > Open by default > toggle the enable button and turn on all the links.
Those instances will now open in Jerboa.
same thing happens to me in a web browser and in the ios app (mlem)
probably just one of those early-tech things the devs need to work through and find a better implementation
it’s a bit cumbersome, but you have to copy the text of the community and search for it from your own instance’s search box
I feel little bit like cheater - I am not on beehaw that often.
I mostly post on homebrewing community on https://sopuli.xyz/c/homebrewing
Trying to grow it because I loved brewing subreddits.
https://programming.dev/ is a programming focused server. It has communities for a few different languages. It’s not too popular yet but I hope it will be in the future.
nice! I subscribed to !programming@programming.dev
Spinning circle after clicking the Sign Up button? That has been my experience with multiple sites now.
Yeah. I believe there’s a bug but I havent really had the time to look into it. My other site lemmydeals.com works perfectly though and they’re setup the same way.
Mandatory email when other instances have optional is a bit difficult for me to go through
You don’t have to create an account on the instance to subscribe to their communities.
You can, for example, search for !programming@programming.dev to index that community from your home instance.

Check out !newcommunities@lemmy.world for new communities that pop up. :)
Lemmy 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.
I created lotrmemes@midwest.social for those of you that like lotr memes
Think it needs to be posted as !lotrmemes@midwest.social in order for it to be clickable in certain clients, like Jerboa.
