I want to find communities, so is there a community dedicated to finding communities?

I like this one the most: https://lemmyverse.net/communities

That means a lot to me :) I added a Instance filter and support for KBin recently.

If you setup your “Home Instance” the links will point to the community on your home instance, too.

I was wondering what that home button did, that’s so cool! This tool is amazing.

This seriously needs to implemented in lemmy already. Not being able to see the true member count/activity of all communities is a massive blow to discoverability and very anti-ux, and likely the biggest hurdle for newcomers.

Yep, would be nice. No one expected the massive influx of users, though. This suddenly changed from something extremely niche to something a lot of users at least know about.

IMO the biggest hurdle for newcomers is that everyone is going to lemmy.world and then it’s slow and everything and they think Lemmy is slow because they don’t understand how federation works (which is understandable, it’s the first time they’re seeing something like that).

That’s another thing. People need to stop recommending the massive servers and recommend smaller ones like vlemmy.net, lemmy.one or lemm.ee instead, at lest until lemmy’soptimized for user counts of this scale. Those servers have also been upgraded for the surge of users after all, and everything’s connected anyway.

In fact, I think lemmy clients should go as far as to assign new users randomly to good general servers like these upon registration so they don’t even have to know about instances; would make the onboarding much better

I am yet to use the browser version so idk how it is natively, but in apps I believe that should be a feature added by the developers and being a toggle of some sort (and I’d say on by default)

Noob here. When I click the link of a page there I am not logged in. How can I watch and reply to this from lemmy.world?

Don’t click the title, click the text starting wirh ! (like !linux@lemmy.ml) and paste it into search on lemmy.world. It will find that community and you can then click it and join.

Edit: If others are reading this, you can click the home button and setup your home instance, thay way the links will correctly go to your instance and the whole process is much better!

Thank you! It worked, though quite cumbersome

I’ve been using this userscript to redirect all links to my instance. If you’ve never installed a userscript, it’s pretty easy, you just need to install the Tampermonkey browser extension (there are others but it’s the one I use), then click the greasyfork link in the post I linked, and click install.

This is the best equivalent on lemmy.world, but just in case you don’t know this about the Fediverse yet, you don’t need a community to be on your home instance to subscribe to it. If you find any community that you like on any other instance, you are able to subscribe by searching for that community from your home instance.

Just wanted to let you know that you aren’t limited to the communities you see on the lemmy.world community page, or ones linked in c/newcommunities.

I used this site when migrating https://sub.rehab/

Shows where old Reddit subs relocated to or branched out to.

No Stupid Questions

!nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Create post

No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others’ questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
