Hello from your southern neighbor. I am a huge fan of Kids In the Hall, Corner Gas, Strange Brew, etc.. While these are older shows and movies I still have a great appreciation for Canadian humor in all entertainment mediums. I am surprised I haven't come across a community for discussing Canadian entertainment or something thereof. As I am not as versed as many on the subject I would be hesitant to create a community myself, but would enjoy having one to participate in and find new shows and whatnot. Just something to think about. Eh?

(These instructions are for using Lemmy in a browser. If you are using an app, some steps may differ.)

How to Join Lemmy

To use Lemmy, you need to be a member of one instance from the list at https://join-lemmy.org/instances. You will still be able to see content from anywhere, but the instance you choose will determine:

• What URL you use to log in to Lemmy,
• What content shows on the homepage when you select "Local" or "All",
• Who moderates your instance, and
• What rules you agree to when you sign up.

Choose an instance that matches your interests, language, and region. (If you want more information about an instance, you can tap its "Join" button, which will show you its current homepage in the main view and its description in the sidebar. You can also check the tables here and here.) Please avoid joining instances that are already crowded (1000+ users/month). If an instance gets overcrowded, it can start running slowly or experiencing downtime, so choosing an uncrowded instance will give both you and others a better Lemmy experience.

Once you have decided on an instance, tap its "Join" button to open it and then tap "Sign Up" in the upper-right corner. Fill out the form and wait for your account to be approved.

When your account is approved, log in and customize your profile and settings. If you change your language settings, select "Undetermined" in addition to any languages you speak so that you can still see posts and comments that are not tagged as being in any particular language.

How to Find and Subscribe to Communities

There are four ways to find communities through Lemmy:

1. To browse communities that others in your instance are already subscribed to, tap the "Communities" tab at the top of the page and choose the "All" scope. Tapping on a community name will open it through your instance.

2. To browse communities across all instances, visit https://browse.feddit.de/. Tapping on the community's name will open it, but probably not through your instance (in which case the page will say that you are not logged in). Instead, follow these steps:

   a. Copy the community's URL or remote name. You can use the copy button next to the community name, you can open the community outside your instance and copy the URL from your address bar, or you can open the community outside your instance and copy the remote name (which will look like [email protected]) from the sidebar.

   b. In your instance, tap on the "🔍 Search" button in the upper toolbar.

   c. Make sure that you have chosen "All" for each of the four filters: "Type", "Scope", "Community", and "Creator".

   d. Paste the community's URL or remote name into the search field and tap "Search".

   e. One of the results should be the community shown as an icon, a name, and a subscriber count. If you do not see it, or it is buried too deep in the search results, try changing "Scope" to "Local". If that does not work, you may need to wait a bit and try again.

   f. Tap on the community in the search results to open it in your instance.

3. If you want an experience similar to Reddit's r/all, visit https://lemmy.directory/home/data_type/Post/listing_type/All/sort/Hot/page/1, which aggregates from these communities as described here. As in Option 2, you can copy and search for a community's URL to open it in your instance and subscribe to it.

4. If you don't see a community by browsing, subscribe to https://lemmy.ml/c/findacommunity and make a post about what you're looking for.

Once a community is open in your instance, subscribe to it by tapping on the "Subscribe" button at the top of the sidebar. It will then appear in the "Subscribed" section of your "Communities" tab, and its posts will show on your home feeds.

Can't find a community you're looking for? If your instance allows it, you can create the community yourself by tapping "Create Community" in the upper toolbar.

Hello everyone,
Today I created two communities as an alternative to r/collapse and related subreddits.
Climate Crisis, Biosphere & Societal Collapse - Collapse-related news & discussion
and
Faster Than Expected - Collapse-related memes and other silly stuff.

I would be delighted to have like-minded users join and add to the discourse there. As an RRR (recent Reddit refugee), I need a place to discuss the continuing medley of crises that we are currently experiencing. Everyone is welcome. Please keep discussion civil and respect one another.

Tut mir leid, ich musste das durch maschinelle Übersetzung abspülen - ich habe ein Semester Deutsch an der Universität absolviert, aber das Endergebnis ist, dass ich jemanden einen Jelly Donut nennen kann und das war's dann auch schon.

Ich denke, das ist der richtige Ort, um das zu posten, wenn nicht, dann tut es mir leid.

Es ist aufregend, so viel Verkehr in Lemmy in den letzten Tagen zu sehen.

Ich glaube zwar nicht, dass Reddit im Fediverse neu zu erstellen, aber es gab ein paar Abonnenten, die mir wirklich dabei geholfen haben, neue Inhalte zu entdecken. Ich schaute nach und sah nichts Vergleichbares, also schuf ich zwei neue Communities:

https://lemmy.ca/c/lemmy411 Uhr - ja - ich kann nicht finden, was Sie suchen (oder vielleicht auf welchem Fall?) Fragen Sie hier. (ja, anglozentrisch – 411 ist die nordamerikanische Telefonverzeichnisnummer, aber ich dachte, ich behalte denselben Namen wie der Subreddit.)

https://lemmy.ca/c/wowthislemmyexists - etwas Cooles gefunden? Veröffentlichen Sie hier etwas darüber, damit auch andere es entdecken können.

(Dies wird an einigen anderen Stellen, wie z. B. auch anderen Instanzen, auf Haupt-Communitys übertragen.)

Similar in purpose to this one: finding the right community for you (but with no commentary on how active they are)

Exiting to see so much new traffic in Lemmy the past few days.

While I don't think recreating Reddit in the Fediverse is necessarily a good idea, there were a few subs that really helped me discover new content. I looked, and didn't see anything directly comparable, so I created two new communities:

https://lemmy.ca/c/lemmy411 - yep - can't find what you're looking for (or perhaps what instance it might be on?) ask here.

https://lemmy.ca/c/wowthislemmyexists - find something cool? post about it here for others to discover as well.

(this will be cross-posted to a few other places like other instance main communities as well)

Be the change you want to see in the world, that's what mom always used to say. So here's a list of all the Local communities from the top 13 Lemmy instances by user count as per https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/list

For now its just a copy+paste from the communities listing page of each instance https://lemmy.ca/communities/listing_type/Local/page/1 ... I think today's programming challenge might be a script to scrape that and in the future we'll poke at Lemmy's API to see if we can't snarf a community list automagically. (if you have any ideas let me know)

edit: changed from dropbox to google drive. Let me know if there are viewing problems - other than having to go to (ugh) google drive.

edit2: permissions, ugh. Should be universally accessible now.

I do enjoy watching a bit of sportsball. You know the thing where fans of red guys and fans of blue guys chirp and bantz at each other about which colour is the losers and which colour owns, and you hurl insults at the refs for making a call even if it was probably correct.

So what are the biggest sports communities are on lemmy? And/or are there any instances that have more sports than others?

Considering the size of lemmy, I'm not even in the mood to be picky about which sport it is. I just want to tell someone else on lemmy that their team sucks.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/610275 I figured if the Lemmy Admins don't know a thing then it ain't worth knowing.
