let’s spread the love so other instances/communities can be discovered easier
here are a few I recommend:
You must log in or register to comment.
I find that a lot of the more discussion oriented parts of Reddit seem to have migrated over to kbin instead (which is partly why I set up shop there), so I’d recommend checking out the kbin versions of the communities you may be interested in. They’re less active overall but the signal to noise ratio seems to be better.
And because federation, you can still subscribe and discuss things with your Lemmy account (albeit with more bugs than you may be used to)
I still don’t quite understand how to subscribe to other communities on this thing.
I did the following on Jerboa
- save this post (we’ll be revisiting this a few times)
- go to the search function that is indicated by the bulleted list icon
- enter the community name (without the @… part)
- there’ll be a few results
- tap on them, see the posts if you want, and tap the subscribe button and see that it shows joined
- go to saved posts, repeat until subscribed to every community you want
Having said that, there’s probably a simpler way to do this. Still early in the learning process.
that worked. I missed the sidebar button. I’m still not sure how to find it on ios app I downloaded but found it on web
+1 Thanks for sharing this information! I know that there’s going to be a bit of a learning curve for the new platform and I appreciate you helping us all out!
Good on you giving useful instructions for everyone . I got stuck with the wrong order of instance then community and was confused for a while
Overall, this is the biggest issue with jerboa. Not being able to get to other communities on other instances makes discovery next to impossible
Just use the upper left menu to switch to “all”. That’s what I am doing right now in jerboa.
I will normaly just go to the community on the instance of the community and then on the right side (don’t know about mobile) there is:
" You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosting@slrpnk.net "
on my instance you also have to add to the search that all servers schould be searched. And then it works out.
Also some of links when I start brwosing the fediverse from my instance also bring me to the community without leaving my home instance but i didn’t figured this out jet.
it’s when you format a link like this /c/community@instance, instead of the full url. Example Link so regardless of your particular server instance, that link will stay local, if the linked community is not yet synced (federated) it will 404 though, that will happen a lot for a the first few weeks of growing this service, particularly if you are on a smaller server that might be updating slower or is under strain.

Check out !newcommunities@lemmy.world for new communities that pop up. :)
Lemmy seems to be such an amazing instance. Science based. It is sad that it doesn’t have as many users as I had hoped… Science ftw.
It’s getting better! All the time! This was just posted yesterday.
There are… some of us!
Only a matter of time. :)
nice instance!
ooh, a lot of good ones there!
I always liked browsing houseplants on reddit and being in awe, considering I’m the most prolific houseplant serial killer of all time
https://programming.dev/ is a programming focused server. It has communities for a few different languages. It’s not too popular yet but I hope it will be in the future.
Mandatory email when other instances have optional is a bit difficult for me to go through
You don’t have to create an account on the instance to subscribe to their communities.
You can, for example, search for !programming@programming.dev to index that community from your home instance.
Ah, that’s better
You can also go to eg. beehaw.org/c/programming@programming.dev to see that instance’s programming community on Beehaw
nice! I subscribed to !programming@programming.dev
Been trying to sign up for a day now and havent been able to
Spinning circle after clicking the Sign Up button? That has been my experience with multiple sites now.
Yeah. I believe there’s a bug but I havent really had the time to look into it. My other site lemmydeals.com works perfectly though and they’re setup the same way.
I feel little bit like cheater - I am not on beehaw that often.
I mostly post on homebrewing community on https://sopuli.xyz/c/homebrewing
Trying to grow it because I loved brewing subreddits.
Don’t worry it’s not a competition! In fact a non-beehaw user would be helpful in suggesting communities that beehaw users might not aware of.

I made !curlyhair@lemmy.world as an alternative to r/curlyhair. You can also search for new communities at !newcommunities@lemmy.world.
love the newcommunities idea, I subscribed!
Appreciate it :)
We need some posts on idiotsincars. Please drop in!
When I click your link it completely closes Jerboa.
Jerboa is still a little wonky. Click on the sub name from one of my posts.
I created a Grateful Dead community on lemmy.world, we’ve already got a few people participating and I’d love to see it grow
https://lemmy.world/c/gratefuldead !gratefuldead@lemmy.world
So, let’s say I want to subscribe to one of these, and I’m using Jerboa. How tf do I do that??
Hit the 3 lines next to the Home button on the bottom row. That lets you search for Lemmy communities. So, if you search “moviesandtv”, you’ll see the movies and TV community that OP mentioned.
Got it. Thanks!
I recently started a community for the author Stephen King
I’ll shill mine, a community for Manchester United fans
Nice to see sports people on Lemmy
I created Pizza, Lego, and a few others I’m trying to get off the ground
It would be nice to see a new home for Tabletop Game Design; much enjoyed the discussions around both role playing and board/card games alike.
!conlang@lemmygrad.ml for the conlangers out there.
