The way Lemmy works right now is you search a community in your instance for it to then get shown, so you need to first discover that community from elsewhere. With that in mind, what are some growing communities that you discovered that could get some more love?
Posted this elsewhere, but as people flood in maybe some community promotion isn’t a bad thing…
I’ve setup an instance focused on some niche topics and hobbies, there’s not much there yet but here they are if anyone wants to check them out:
FFXIV → https://possumpat.io/c/ffxiv
Bugs → https://possumpat.io/c/bugmenagerie
Esports → https://possumpat.io/c/esports
Gundam → https://possumpat.io/c/gundam
Star Trek → https://possumpat.io/c/startrek
Xenoblade → https://possumpat.io/c/xenoblade
Can I follow these from kbin?
I think so - if you search for those links on your kbin instance, I believe they should show up as magazines and you can subscribe to them the same way.
You can! To subscribe to something on another instance just go to the general search and type
<community name>@<hostname>For example here’s a search for ffxiv@possumpat.io
Need to get a lemmy static going for the new tier!
Someone said you can format links so that login is not required to subscribe. I still don’t totally understand how all this works. The example they gave was /c/news@lemmy.pineapplemachine.com
