What are some communities you've subscribed to, even though there are only a handful of posts, hoping that it will one day be active?

My hometown community (San Diego). I feel like a bushy-tailed fool, only one doing any posting on Lemmy. But I'm done with R., so off I go...

@BestOf or https://kbin.social/m/Bestof

Disclaimer: I'm the moderator. I would just like a good place in the fediverse where I can see all the best of it.

How do I subscribe to a kbin community from a lemmy account?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah wondering the same. I thought that was the whole point of the fediverse thing

Tagging @[email protected] as well in case either of you haven't got it working yet. Just take the actual URL of the Kbin mag and search for it from your instance, like you would normally search with the ! syntax for a Lemmy community.

So, if I search for https://kbin.social/m/Bestof I get no results. To do this, I went to "Communities" at the top of the page, then searched for that URL. I got this as a result:

That search finds Bestof.. as in your post but there's not "Subscribe" button so how do I add it to my subscribed communities? Sorry for teh ignorant Q, i'm ignorant

Searching for [email protected] does the same (iirc the latter is the preferred way to get to a federated instance's community, but I'm a noob so waht do i know?)

I'm in the middle of linking up all the various crafty communities with a central list, because if you're a crafter you're probably interested in more than one of them. So, all of those?

Here's the list as posted in the leathercrafting community (which you should also check out), we've got loads of stuff from crochet to dicemaking. Crafters, assemble!

I wish the Super Smash Bros Lemmy was more active. I wanted to message the owner to offer to mod because Sunspider helps with Lemmy.world and has their hands full probably but can't figure out how to do that on Jerboa.

SSB is one of the first video games I ever played and I've been active for over 20 years in this series. The Nintendo Switch does not make it easy to pull my files so it's a little harder to save and post clips unlike BotW or other games

I've been trying to get [email protected] off the ground but it's not getting much traction.

I wish my local city's community had more people, but I'm afraid they'll never move over. Oh well, i created it anyway.

I've also created a few others that will get buried.

What city? I'm suffering the same fate with San Diego.
