I've already started seeing a lot of redundant communities being made here that have already existed on other Lemmy instances, and lemmy.ml is at risk of centralization and overload, so now is a great time to raise awareness of other instances.

For science topics, mander.xyz has a lot of good ones set up, and !solarpunk@slrpnk.net on slrpnk.net has been great!

edit: for new users - you can type ! to begin autofilling a community, even for ones on other instances, like I did for the solarpunk community above. It may take a few seconds for the autofill results to show up if you have a slow connection like me.

How do I subscribe to that sopuli one, since it doesn't show up in my local search results?

    It should show up if you type it into your search bar like this !map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz

    If that doesn’t work try copypasting lemmy.one/c/map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz in your adress bar. That’s how I subscribe to global communities from my own instance since the search can be slow at times.

    The search didn't work for me, coming from lemmy.one. Didn't even show a "no results" message. Copypastaing the whole URL worked, but that is a deeply wonky interface :(

    Thank you though! Subscribed.

    If you're the first one to try to search for a community on your server, it seems to get a bit wonky. But if you try to search it again now, it will probably show fine.
