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 :)

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.

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!

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.

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).

Should this be edited to remove Beehaw now that they have de-federated?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

AFAIK beehaw defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. Not lemmy.one at the moment

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Did not realize this, thanks! 👍

They are only de-federated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works

Lemmy.one is still federated with those two and beehaw.org

That means it has no impact on us at all, afaik. I'm no pro but I just made a new account, after having a beehaw one, on this instance specifically to see if I could still see everything on all three, and I can.

Join us for all your sports talk over at https://fanaticus.social! We've got communities for all the major sports and their teams.

I also spent the past week forking the popular game day bot, redball, in order to bring game bots to lemmy! There are still a couple of kinks I'm working out but I've begun rolling them out to the teams' communities, starting with the baseball communities.

Check out:

And all the teams-specific communities!

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:

I'm late to getting games so I was very happy to find https://sh.itjust.works/c/patientgamers with how patientgamers was one my favorite communities back on reddit.

Does anyone have recommendations for communities on camping, hiking, and backpacking? Much appreciated.

These were the ones I was able to find:

[email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

[email protected] seems to be the most active one right now, not sure if we are federating with all of them yet.

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Glad to see that Lemmygrad is on the blocklist.

[email protected] - A community for people who write or enjoy reading HFY themed fiction.

What is HFY?

While traditional science fiction often presents humans as vulnerable masses seeking refuge from menacing aliens or as feeble beings overshadowed by aliens with superior logic, strength or empathy. HFY disrupts these archetypes by challenging the norm.

In the world of HFY, humanity is bestowed with exceptional qualities, giving rise to a sense of optimism and empowerment within the reader. It seeks to uplift and inspire, demonstrating the potential of human greatness and the capacity for overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds.

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

-longboarding

-possum pictures and/or possum memes

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

Where are my fellow C programmers? And those who prefer Basic ( qb64 and Gambas welcome too)?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm still hoping that this community grows here, but so far the only one I found for C is [email protected] (all the other programming languages seem to also have a community on programming.dev instance)

Thank you for this. It's a nice starting point.

For those who missed /r/gamedeals and /r/buildapcsales while browsing lemmy

It pulls in posts from the reddit subs.

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.

Is there an OutOfTheLoop? I keep finding vague allusions to beehaw defederating lemmy.world, but I have no idea where to ask what happened.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Beehaw appears to be staunchly against instances who allow open registration for any account. They want to foster a safe, friendly community and instances that allow open registration are a ripe spot for trolls and bad actors to register with Lemmy. Since these trolls and bad actors are then free to post on any federated instances, they can sign up on these open instances and attack places they otherwise wouldn't be allowed to register.

Do the the limited functionality of moderation between federated instances, they decided to defederate from the two fast growing, open registration instances. They've developed a plan with sh.itjust.works to build a path to refederating but Lemmy.world admins have been non-responsive to Beehaw's attempts to reach out to them about doing the same.
