What are some great communities to follow that are not on lemmy.ml or beehaw (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

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

It doesn't let me follow them, wants me to log in again when i click the link

Don't click the links, copy them into the search bar on your instance. You may need to search for it twice for it to show up. (definitely not too intuitive, I hope it'll improve) >

Can I follow these from kbin?

[-] tojikomori@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

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

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.

Need to get a lemmy static going for the new tier!

[-] Hudsonius@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

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
