I’m running a standalone Lemmy instance, but I’m not planning to develop or grow a community on said instance since it’s mostly to practice my infra and DevOps skills. I would, however, like to subscribe to all communities on other instances, for example, on lemmy.world and several others. Is there an easy way, or can I only subscribe to each community individually?
I was able to do this pretty easy with Mastadon but am struggling with lemmy. Right now it seems I have to make an account for every instance I want to access. Lemmy.world for example shows “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: !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world” when I try and add nostupidquestions, but I’m not seeing this search field they are talking about, at least on Mlem and I’m bound to mobile right now
No, right now there’s no easy way to do multiple subscriptions at once. Features like that are being discussed heavily right now, but nothing’s been implemented yet.
Personally, I’d like a comprehensive list of all subscribable places on here, and on other instances as well. Maybe I’m just too new and don’t currently know how to use the Jerboa app, but eh.
I would really like something like r/all - that’s all I ever really used while on Reddit.
The Jerboa app isn’t amazing for discovering new communities, but the browser version allows you to browse subscribable communities via the hamburger icon at the top right. I used that when I first signed up and subscribed to my first load of communities
Check out https://browse.feddit.de/ , it’s an excellent place to start! I’m not an Android user, so I don’t have any experience with Jerboa, and not sure how it would fit into subscribing processes there.
This is another one I’ve found which I like the UI of https://lemmyverse.net/communities
maybe hop to https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities for discovery. @Virtim@lemmy.virtim.dev try: https://lemmy.world/c/devops@lemmy.ml ?
You’ll have to use the search option and hope for good results. The fragmentation of communities seems to be a rising topic these days. While it’s good that posts and comments are fragmented, I think personal feeds should be consolidatable.
