Some people have been asking which communities they should join first, so I posted some remote communities you can subscribe to on the sidebar on the homepage :)

Tech → !technology@beehaw.org
News → !news@beehaw.org
Gaming → !gaming@beehaw.org
Memes → !memes@sopuli.xyz
Privacy → !privacy@lemmy.ca
FOSS → !foss@beehaw.org
Monero → !monero@monero.town
Music → !music@beehaw.org
Books → !literature@beehaw.org
LGBT → !lgbtq_plus@beehaw.org
Nature → !greenspace@beehaw.org
Sports → !sports@beehaw.org
Programming → !programming@beehaw.org

Find another cool community? Leave a comment :)

There's also this universal community search tool you can try using. If you find a community, just copy its URL and paste it in /search to subscribe to it here. This just goes to show that while there might not be many local communities here on lemmy.one yet, the beauty of the fediverse means that doesn't matter!

I'm here from reddit, and thank you for these recommendations. Time for my neuroplasticity to kick in so I can learn how all this works.

[–] sbowesuk@lemmy.one 7 points 2 years ago

Also here from Reddit. Lemmy actually feels like how Reddit *used *to feel in its early years, i.e. fresh community with fresh ideas. Love it!

What don't you like about it? I find Beehaw pretty great. The only thing I could think of is that they've defederated some of the larger instances, but it's understandable given their content philosophy and the current state of moderation tools on Lemmy (really terrible).

[–] Xylight@lemmy.xylight.dev 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They've defederated over 400 instances including lemmy.world, they want centralization

Good to know, thanks.

[–] helloworld55@lemmy.one 6 points 2 years ago

Just wanted to say, thanks for hosting this instance! I'm a reddit refuge and this Lemmy instance has been really straightforward on how to get started.

[–] angelsomething@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

Memmy for iOS makes it super easy to find and join communities. Highly recommended.

Does anyone know of any communities for pigeons or capybaras (or tbh any other weird-but-cute critters)?

Edit: adding some as I find them:

[–] Melody@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

!genderqueer@lemmy.one

We're open for all!~

[–] Percy@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How can I create some for lemmy.one?

[–] Adda@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

See a post regarding community creation on the instance lemmy.one. For example, on lemmy.ml, you have a button at the top of the page beside Create Post to create communities. That is not the case as of now for lemmy.one.

[–] khoplex@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I was going down the universal search tool list, subscribing to the communities that I was interested in, and I ran into an issue trying to sub to some of the communities. Thankfully I was able to quickly find the answer - anything that is on the block list under https://lemmy.one/instances you are not able to subscribe to from this instance.

[–] voynich@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Glad to see that Lemmygrad is on the blocklist.

[–] DisappointingIntro@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

!trendingcommunities@feddit.nl is my goto for discovery, for anybody else who might be struggling to find communities

[–] MyMulligan@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think the reddit hug of love is affecting things today on the 12th.

Just a general question, on a mobile device is using your browser or an app the better experience? And if using an app is Jaebra the one most people use?

[–] jonah@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

I prefer the browser to apps personally, this is actually one of the main reasons I like Lemmy over Reddit and it's unusable mobile view. You'll find plenty of mobile app users here too and it sounds like it works fine, I'll just caution that some (all?) of them sound like they're feature-incomplete, so if you ever think something is missing from Lemmy, double-check on the website first, because it might just not be added to the app yet.

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Hi! Does anyone know any good communities about the following topics:

-longboarding

-possum pictures and/or possum memes

[–] LemmySee@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago
[–] khoplex@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I appreciate you taking the time to share! I’ve only messed with Mastodon briefly and the fediverse is a little challenging to navigate at first (in my opinion).

I’ve been a lurker on the subreddit for ages and when I saw your post I decided it was time to check Lemmy out. Thanks for taking the time to set up an instance to keeps the community alive as Reddit implodes. Hopefully this works out or at least can act as a temporary home until we can figure out what is next.

[–] mercan@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

yes, very much appreciated!

[–] Percy@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Time to wait for the cat ones

[–] waspentalive@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Is there a community for users of FreeDOS?

[–] smartwater0897@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks you, subbed to a lot of them. The more content and more posts, the better. :)

[–] nightmaaaare@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Anyone aware of an arts/culture community that’s not about posting your own work but more about cool exhibitions and performances across the art world?

[–] rk96@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is there a community for soccer?

[–] jjjm182@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

There's one here, but I don't seem to be able to subscribe to it. https://lemmy.ml/c/soccer

[–] Fly4aShyGuy@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Found a few very small communities with just a few posts from the universal search tool, when I search for these (they are on other instances) I can't find them. They are not on a blocked instance (both are on lemmy.ml), am I doing something wrong or is there some limit in size of community that are reachable through federation? Thanks, am very new to how the federation works in both Lemmy and Mastodon.

[–] jonah@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Click the copy icon to the right of the community name on the search tool, then go to https://lemmy.one/search and paste in the URL it copied, and the community should show up. If it doesn't immediately show up: wait 30 seconds, refresh the search page, and try again, and then it will work.

[–] dukethorion@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

This process needs to be easier, somehow. New users are going to search, see it doesn't show up, assume everything is broken, and leave.

Work Reform & Unionizing! - !workreform@lemmy.world

[–] EarlyBaboon@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Is there any community having an Indian context?

[–] Aardonyx@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Does anyone know if you can hide posts in Jerboa? This post and a lemmy.one welcome post are pinned at the top of my feeds, and they take up a lot of room visually. I'd also like to hide posts I've already seen, as on smaller communities I only want to see the occasional new posts, not see the same post from 3 days ago every time.
