Looking for cool communities?

Some people have been asking which communities they should join first, so I posted some remote communities you can subscribe to on the sidebar on the homepage :)

Find another cool community? Leave a comment :)

There's also this universal community search tool you can try using. If you find a community, just copy its URL and paste it in /search to subscribe to it here. This just goes to show that while there might not be many local communities here on lemmy.one yet, the beauty of the fediverse means that doesn't matter!

I'm here from reddit, and thank you for these recommendations. Time for my neuroplasticity to kick in so I can learn how all this works.

Also here from Reddit. Lemmy actually feels like how Reddit *used *to feel in its early years, i.e. fresh community with fresh ideas. Love it!

I think the reddit hug of love is affecting things today on the 12th.

Just a general question, on a mobile device is using your browser or an app the better experience? And if using an app is Jaebra the one most people use?

BrainisfineIthinkreply
lemmy.one

Was just wondering about that. Jerboa pushed a major update today so I thought it was that, but on desktop I am getting 403's and timeout galore today. Just try to be patient - growing the platform is a GOOD thing, but real people host these instances in most cases, and fixes take resources!

I'm actually impressed it seems to be holding up rather well from what I'm seeing. Is there anywhere to view the uptick in traffic?

lemmy.one

I prefer the browser to apps personally, this is actually one of the main reasons I like Lemmy over Reddit and it's unusable mobile view. You'll find plenty of mobile app users here too and it sounds like it works fine, I'll just caution that some (all?) of them sound like they're feature-incomplete, so if you ever think something is missing from Lemmy, double-check on the website first, because it might just not be added to the app yet.

BrainisfineIthinkreply
lemmy.one

Yeah, most of them are still in Alpha. It's fun to see them grow and change with each update, but you are correct that many features are either broken/incomplete or just missing from them at this point. They're doing a terrific job with Jerboa, for anyone looking for an android client. It's very usable!

Should this be edited to remove Beehaw now that they have de-federated?

Sileiareply

AFAIK beehaw defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. Not lemmy.one at the moment

13
Stoneykinsreply
lemmy.one

They are only de-federated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works

Lemmy.one is still federated with those two and beehaw.org

That means it has no impact on us at all, afaik. I'm no pro but I just made a new account, after having a beehaw one, on this instance specifically to see if I could still see everything on all three, and I can.

SKLCreply
lemmy.one

It has an impact - you can't see posts or replies on beehaw communities by people from lemmy.world, even if we're federated with all of them. Only people from lemmy.world can see those (but they can't see anyone else's).

ijeffreply
lemdro.id

What don't you like about it? I find Beehaw pretty great. The only thing I could think of is that they've defederated some of the larger instances, but it's understandable given their content philosophy and the current state of moderation tools on Lemmy (really terrible).

Join us for all your sports talk over at https://fanaticus.social! We've got communities for all the major sports and their teams.

I also spent the past week forking the popular game day bot, redball, in order to bring game bots to lemmy! There are still a couple of kinks I'm working out but I've begun rolling them out to the teams' communities, starting with the baseball communities.

Check out:

Does anyone know if you can hide posts in Jerboa? This post and a lemmy.one welcome post are pinned at the top of my feeds, and they take up a lot of room visually. I'd also like to hide posts I've already seen, as on smaller communities I only want to see the occasional new posts, not see the same post from 3 days ago every time.

harelureply
lemmy.one

Go to your user settings and uncheck "show read posts", I just recently found it so I dont know how it works exactly, but im assuming once you open a post it will be considered read, and hidden on mexr refresh

4
Aardonyxreply
lemmy.one

Thank you, that worked! Although I would prefer to be able to manually hide any posts that I don't want to see as some posts do have repeat value - but I suppose I can just comment on them or save them (I presume?) for reference.

2
harelureply
lemmy.one

Yep, saving works good for that. But yeah, once you open or upvote it, theres no way to undo that, so they will get hidden with that setting off.

I appreciate you taking the time to share! I’ve only messed with Mastodon briefly and the fediverse is a little challenging to navigate at first (in my opinion).

I’ve been a lurker on the subreddit for ages and when I saw your post I decided it was time to check Lemmy out. Thanks for taking the time to set up an instance to keeps the community alive as Reddit implodes. Hopefully this works out or at least can act as a temporary home until we can figure out what is next.

I can't help but notice you have "possum" in your name. Do you have any possum related communities?

There is an existing star trek topic thing I found in search. Is there a way to merge them? This is the one thing I'm going to be worried about is fragmentation of topics across instances.

1
prestonreply
possumpat.io

Right now, not really.

This was also an issue on reddit tbh - several subreddits would spring up for multiple topics, like how there was r/gaming and r/games. Over time, I'm sure some instances will become the "default" for a given topic, and others will become defunct. Imo, this is a good thing. It's a pretty healthy way to grow communities and avoid lemmy.ml dominating every topic.

I am using the Jerboa app for Lemmy, and I am able to subscribe to communities via the search tab. How do I then view posts from my subscribed communities within the Jerboa app? Anyone know?

Not sure if I am using the app right...

Edit: looks like updating the app fixed it. Subscriptions now showing up in the left menu.

If you link it like this: Bread

it will be load that community on the user's own instance, so they can just hit subscribe instead of having to search for it back on their own instance.

See a post regarding community creation on the instance lemmy.one. For example, on lemmy.ml, you have a button at the top of the page beside Create Post to create communities. That is not the case as of now for lemmy.one.

I was going down the universal search tool list, subscribing to the communities that I was interested in, and I ran into an issue trying to sub to some of the communities. Thankfully I was able to quickly find the answer - anything that is on the block list under https://lemmy.one/instances you are not able to subscribe to from this instance.

I've had the same issue, could be lemmy.one blocking some of those instances or vice versa. I wonder if there's an aggregator that gathers posts from multiple communities across multiple instances.

I found https://lemmy.ml/c/horror, a tiny community. Can anyone recommend more horror communities?

Also, I'm so excited to be here! Everyone seems a little bit nicer. I hope we continue to grow and that the overall kindness sticks around. I saw a lot of the civility going out the window at Reddit over the last couple of years and it was disappointing. (Edgelords suck.)

There is also a horror community on kbin with 176 subscribers, but still in its infancy. You can connect our instance to it by using the search function on lemmy and pasting the full url: https://kbin.social/m/Horror and once you have subscribed, it should start slowly federating the community to ours here on lemmy.one

This has been an extremely helpful list. I could use a community to join for professional wrestling, I.e. AEW and WWE. Thanks in advance all, and its nice to join you!

P.S. One for Marvel Snap would be nice as well. I’d be glad to take a shot at creating it if there is any interest.

I'm still hoping that this community grows here, but so far the only one I found for C is ![email protected] (all the other programming languages seem to also have a community on programming.dev instance)

Lazycogreply
lemmy.one

Atleast one person from your instance needs to subscribe to a community on another instance so that others can find it in the all communities list. If none have, you need to paste the real url into the search to find it.

So go to the search, choose "communities" "All" and type https://programming.dev/c/c_lang

Edit: sorry not communities, the search needs to be set to search "all". Edit 2: adding a pic:

[email protected] - A community for people who write or enjoy reading HFY themed fiction.

What is HFY?

While traditional science fiction often presents humans as vulnerable masses seeking refuge from menacing aliens or as feeble beings overshadowed by aliens with superior logic, strength or empathy. HFY disrupts these archetypes by challenging the norm.

In the world of HFY, humanity is bestowed with exceptional qualities, giving rise to a sense of optimism and empowerment within the reader. It seeks to uplift and inspire, demonstrating the potential of human greatness and the capacity for overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds.

Is there an OutOfTheLoop? I keep finding vague allusions to beehaw defederating lemmy.world, but I have no idea where to ask what happened.

2
TheJawareply
lemmy.one

Beehaw appears to be staunchly against instances who allow open registration for any account. They want to foster a safe, friendly community and instances that allow open registration are a ripe spot for trolls and bad actors to register with Lemmy. Since these trolls and bad actors are then free to post on any federated instances, they can sign up on these open instances and attack places they otherwise wouldn't be allowed to register.

Do the the limited functionality of moderation between federated instances, they decided to defederate from the two fast growing, open registration instances. They've developed a plan with sh.itjust.works to build a path to refederating but Lemmy.world admins have been non-responsive to Beehaw's attempts to reach out to them about doing the same.

Hello, still learning how this all works. I know I'm in the minority here, but has anyone come across any communities on lemmy that deal with karate, aikido, taiji chuan, brazillian jiu jitsu, or martial arts in general?

I think I found some communities to replace the programming subreddits I belonged to thanks to the suggestions here. Still looking for one to replace r/sysadmin.

Personally, I am looking to make a permanent move off of reddit and I appreciate the time and effort this took to get this instance into place and helping people figure out how to use this, Thank you.

Found a few very small communities with just a few posts from the universal search tool, when I search for these (they are on other instances) I can't find them. They are not on a blocked instance (both are on lemmy.ml), am I doing something wrong or is there some limit in size of community that are reachable through federation? Thanks, am very new to how the federation works in both Lemmy and Mastodon.

Click the copy icon to the right of the community name on the search tool, then go to https://lemmy.one/search and paste in the URL it copied, and the community should show up. If it doesn't immediately show up: wait 30 seconds, refresh the search page, and try again, and then it will work.
