I’m a little confused on how to find more communities to join. I’m on the feddit.nl instance, and I know I can subscribe to communities on any instance, but there isn’t really a search button or anything like that, at least not on the Jerboa app. Is there, like, a user guide on how this shit works?

Confusing. There are communities I can’t subscribe to because I can’t access them from my instance, and I have no idea why that is. The experience has been interesting so far, and growing the network is going to be something I’ll be keeping an eye on. For now, though, I’ll have to wait until someone creates the communities I was a part of on Reddit.

Edit: It seems a community won’t show up on your instance’s community list unless someone in that instance is subscribed to it.

I haven’t and I won’t. As much as I hate the API changes and as much as I hate being forced to use the terrible official app, there are communities on Reddit that won’t be going dark indefinitely that I am an active part of and wish to remain part of.

Lemmy is a great concept in theory, but in practice it leads to what was a single community on Reddit being spread over several instances. A community with tens of thousands on Reddit might find a few communities spread over a handful of instances and because a community doesn’t show up in the Communities list under All until someone does the !community@instance.domain command for that specific community (meaning they physically went to other instances to find that community on that other instance and then in practice manually added it to the list)

This also means that as the amount of instances grows, specific communities will become even harder to find as the instances themselves become more obscure and hard to find.

I don’t think I’ve left-clicked a link in years. I just pretty much always open whatever I open with a middle click.

However, that’s a post for /c/Lemmy_Support@lemmy.ml

I probably will, because I know the communities I was part of there will never be as big and succesful here. Let’s face it, Reddit is far simpler. Lemmy takes a little effort to figure out how to navigate, and many casual internet users won’t want to put in that effort.

Give it a few months. More apps will show up.

I’d love an AP that deals with plane hopping, but also Astral Planar stuff, similar to Spelljammer. Though I suppose that’s what Starfinder is.

I guess I just want a Starfinder 2e

It’s a Jerboa, which is an actual animal!

Man I’m not looking forward to when the bots find Lemmy.

The mobile website for Lemmy is pretty good, at least for my instance.
