Hey, if you add a ! at the start of those, they will turn into working links for people on version 18.

[-] WhatASave@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

I'm on Jerboa and when I click it it asks if I want to open it in Gmail or Outlook lol. Still working out kinks!

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

It's better than the alternative, atm Jerboa crashes when you try to give it relative links... Open links to communities in is gonna need some updates.

[-] dandroid@dandroid.app 4 points 2 years ago

For me (Lemmy version 0.18.0, Jerboa version 0.35), it follows the links, but gets all fucky. The header is correct for the community, but the posts are all from my default homepage (subscribed communities, sorted by hot). And if I click and posts, the app crashes.

Formatted for easy navigation once your instance has upgraded to the current version. Clicking the link should take you to a version of the community linked from your instance. Feel free to comment with any broken links you know the answer to.

General Discussion is the display name, that wont work, actual name is !general@lemmy.world

The rest work, but lemmy community names never have capital letters. (Kbin mags can tho)

[-] baconeater@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Yes but you can't edit other people's posts...

Just thought I'd add that I've found startrek@startrek.website to be great and quite active

It's run by the r/startrek and r/daystrominstitute mods.

I like !dota2@lemmy.world. It has a lot of posts with really high quality and there's lots of discussions happening in the comments.

I wish 😭 I'm so alone

I like !foss@beehaw.org people there have good recommandations.

[-] briongloid@aussie.zone 7 points 2 years ago
[-] Erk@cdda.social 5 points 2 years ago

Oh hey cool, it looks like jerboa fixed those kind of links now! I can subscribe to your recommendations!

[-] briongloid@aussie.zone 5 points 2 years ago

Lemmy 0.18 was a good update, made communities easier to link, next is posts/comment native linking.

[-] Erk@cdda.social 3 points 2 years ago

Ah yes some of this is definitely Lemmy rather than jerboa, jerboa just stopped a ctd bug stopping certain links so it became a double whammy of goodness.

[-] briongloid@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago

Tbh, I felt Jerboa 0.35 was a step back, it no longer applies my profile default sorting on boot.

[-] Erk@cdda.social 2 points 2 years ago

I hadn't noticed that, but almost every change I've found in it is a huge improvement. Like being able to follow community links without a ctd.

I'm completely biased, but !bicycles@lemmy.ca has been very decently active!

[-] t0fr@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Be biased! I've already joined and have been getting back into cycling this year

[-] TeaHands@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

It wouldn't be a replacement for that other site without:

(those last two have posts with megalists of related communities too, for gamedev and crafts respectively, check them out if you're interested in either topic)

[-] Candelestine@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

https://lemmy.world/c/videoessays

It's not super active yet, but it's growing. Mainly I just like having a place to drop interesting video essays.

[-] t0fr@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Thanks. Yeah I went, joined, and posted a video. That place should really be filled with more of Technology Connections

Nothing specific but swapping to Lemmy I realized that it was a lot of big subs but not smaller video game subs :( so I guess in general if there are games you play, go be active in those communities!

Ayy, hunt showdown! Thanks. I had found another hunt comm but it seemed dead.

!visualnovels@lemmy.comfysnug.space and associates.

disclaimer: im biased since i created that community

[-] rm_dash_r_star@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

I'm liking all the ones I'm subscribed to right now, can't really nail down a favorite. Get a wide array of topics here, I was really pidgeon holed before because I'd get overloaded.

That's an instance and not a community. But glad there's a Spanish server out there

I really like our little boardgame community over at !boardgames@feddit.de

(Of course I am biased)

[-] t0fr@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

You can be biased and promote. I'm already subbed there and have participated. Board games have been so much fun. I need to have people over to play some Wingspan again. And to play some of the Unstable Unicorn games that I haven't tried yet

Another star trek fan I see. That community is really kicking off out of everything I've seen

[-] klieg2323@lemmy.piperservers.net 3 points 2 years ago

Ehh, old hold off judgment for now. There are some serious concerns about over moderation. I was banned recently for trying to discuss community standards when after making a post from a clickbaity site. Took out someone else too who agreed with me on a different community
