Links to Team Communities

Table of Team-Specific Communities

List of Team-Specific Communities:

::: spoiler Troubleshooting If a community appears as a 404 page when you click it, it likely means that the community is being hosted outside of the instance you are currently using and that nobody in your instance has viewed or interacted with that specific community yet. In order to address this, you will need to copy-paste the specific handle for the community (for example, ![email protected]) into your searchbar so that your instance can "learn" that it exists, after which the community should display via linked URLs without issue. Hopefully this is addressed by the lemmy devs and streamlined in the near future. :::

Canโ€™t seem to figure out the hyperlink on mobile, so Iโ€™ll just leave it as plain text. (It was linking back to this post when I used the hyperlink function in the reply text box)

I'm having a problem subscribing. It says I'm not logged in :(

Yeah, that's because the direct link takes you to a different server.

Instead, copy the link, and in your instance click on the search icon up top, and do a search for it there. That'll give you a link relative to your server/instance. Click that and you're good.

I think they're working on it, but this has to get better for Lemmy to take off. There's so much confusion while trying to share communities.

Yup, it'll be a great thing for new folks trying out Lemmy when this gets sorted out.

Yep, I'm hoping that post blackout a lot of the people that started new communities will start advertising their community.

I think one thing that could really help would be "official" browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox that turn lemmy links from a instance specific URL to their instance URL automatically so it "just works"

e.g. your browser sees https://lemmy.world/c/winnipegjets and it automatically changes it to https://{your-defined-instance-domain}/c/[email protected]

Until then, we need to get EVERYONE using the right syntax for links like OP did on this post with his updates: e.g. [Winnipeg Jets](/c/[email protected]) >> Winnipeg Jets

That style link only works if your instance already has someone subscribed to it. For now, only the search box will cause your instance to learn new communities.

Try this link. They default to bringing you directly to the instance the community is hosted on. This will bring you to the community from your own instance where you are logged in.

Yup, I created that one just a few days ago! Thanks for noting it!

One thing...If you link to the community using the following notation:

c/[email protected]

instead of the full

https://lemmy.world/c/seattlekraken

then it will take you to the community, but keep you on your instance (e.g. you are on lemmy.ca, but looking at c/seattlekraken on the lemmy.world instance)

I'd recommend using that in the links instead of the actual link to the instance with the domain in front. I think this only works from posts, not from comments, for whatever reason. It's weird and I'm still trying to figure it out.

ewereply

Yeah, I can't get it to work either. I thought that was the way it was supposed to be, but I'm mistaken, or there's a bug, which is not unlikely, I suppose :)

lemm.ee

Gah, this is the kind of thing that kills adoption. I can browse to the Caps community on https://lemmy.world, no problem. I see other lemmy.world communities on lemm.ee that I'm using and subscribed to. But I cannot get [email protected] to show up in the app or in search on the website. I tried another team community (I forget which) and had the same experience. But I've been able to add other lemmy.world communities to my subscriptions, and I know they work. Lemmy.world is listed as linked on lemm.ee, and vice versa. Basically everything says it should be working, but it isn't, so it's probably just some temporary issue.

I know once the server 'finds' it the first time, it should work fine, but right now it's just frustrating - and I'm pretty patient.

Edit: Got it. Apparently I had to hit "next".

Thanks! Yea we had a crazy influx over here on lemmy.world, but so far the admin seems like he knows what he's doing and is making the necessary upgrades.

lemmy.ml

Yeah not sure why but lemmy.ml can't access this community. Would happily hop on there.

You should be able to find out now.

In order for a community to show across instances, someone has to search for the full community URL. I have a separate account on Lemmy.ml so I went ahead and did it.

If I do that doesn't it make me a moderator? I unfortunately do not have time to moderate

2

Fair enough. I think it would make you a mod by default. Not that there's too much to do when the community is small, but if you are busy I get not wanting to add commitments.

DarkSpoonreply

I suspect that as well but it's the only community I've had issues with the past couple days there. We'll see!

If anyone has the same issue, try hitting the Pending button again to stop the request and then JUST ONCE to get it to request again. You might need to do it a couple of times, but you should be able to get in eventually, like I did

I added this list to the sidebar. I will try to update it if I see more. Thanks for getting this list!

I was considering setting up a Vancouver one but I don't have the time for the responsibility. I'm also based in the UK so I'm always behind.

This is why fediverse can be annoying as hell. I created one too but on lemmy.ml https://lemmy.ml/c/habs

We need some coordinated efforts to bring everyone from Reddit to one instance, I feel only the mods of /r/habs can do this effectively.

Nah, once the linking issue gets sorted out there will be no need for that. Right now it's a wee bit cumbersome because of the need for a link relative to your specific instance, but that's being worked on.

Let's hope it'll take less than a year :D

Trying to join, but stuck on pending. I'm also only seeing 2 users, is that right? Made a post, hoping to get the ball rolling...

Once I can get on desktop, Iโ€™ll try to make the CBJ community. The TestFlight iOS app isnโ€™t great yet.

There was a Leafs one on lemmy.ca but it had once post two years ago. Probably need a new one or at least a lemmy.ca admin to give mod privileges to someone willing to do it

I know, It won't be a problem unless it gets bigger, need some sort of mod presence.

i can appoint someone as a mod there as the current one appears inactive?

That seems correct, however we don't have a volunteer yet. Im sure theres a need for that community on Canadian server.

I would create an Anaheim Ducks one, but I feel like it wouldn't do well on a Canadian instance.

Plus it would be nothing but depression. But to be honest I don't think the location of the instance matters too much...

I am still bitter about the draft. Maybe I won't hate the league as much when October rolls around...

I'm having trouble clicking links anywhere in the android app, but if you search for it, it will come up.

I noticed that if nobody in your instance has viewed or interacted with a specific community that is hosted outside of the instance you're using, it will appear as a 404 page when you try to access it directly by the URL. For it to show up, you'll need to copy/paste ![email protected] into your search bar. Fortunately, this only needs to be done once, as your instance will remember the community's existence from that point onwards and the URL should work as expected.

Here's to improving in the standings next year. At least have a "2" in the number, preferably one digit, but who am I kidding?

lemmy.world

I'm unable to access fanaticus.social from lemmy.world. That's so frustrating. Hopefully someone makes a new Sharks community because there's only 4 members in this one, and one is me from yesterday when I could access it.

lemmy.world

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be it either. It's probably a bug. Or maybe they really didn't like my post of my hockey jerseys and banned me. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I really appreciate you helping me try to figure this out.

2
Dandroidreply
lemmy.world

Lmao.

After realizing that you could see it, I decided to check to see if I could view the community if I logged out, and I could. So I think I might be banned for some reason. I reached out to the creator of the community to see if they could help. Hopefully it was just a mistake or something and not a bug.

2

Hey, just wanted to let you know, I'm an admin at fanaticus and you're definitely not banned haha. You can check the mod log!

Lemmy is a little weird with it's federation right now. When a user from an instance first subscribes to a community, it won't retrieve the historical comments, only the new ones. I do think the last 20 posts do get pulled though.
