All of them?
Me too!
But this was your chance to list some of the lesser known ones that you, in particular, are interested in.
Fair enough. I guess the ones I’m most into right now are:
I also wish there was a Portland Timbers community here.
i too wish there was a ptfc group here. i'm still going back to the timbers subreddit for my banter.
I usually hang out on the discord.
I recently ran into the problem where I signed up on a different federation or whatever and had to jump through a few hoops to get subscribed to the community I wanted.
I get that that's part of the allure of Lemmy but it's also a stumbling block. I can't just go to any community and sign up at the click of a button. Hopefully there's a workaround for this soon or I imagine a lot of lazy users like myself will just look elsewehere.
The apps I’ve tried thus far on iOS make this process much easier than the web clients. I think with a little refinement, most users could have a “reddit-esque” experience without fully knowing how the federation works under the hood.
I hate it when the community I want to join is spread across like five different instances with varying levels of activity and user count. Wish we could just Pick one and make it The One community.
I understand the desire for that, but tbh I'd be just as happy with something like Reddit's multi-reddits to round up multiple similar communities in one feed. I appreciate the subtle differences that communities around the same topic can have simply by slight variations in their focuses.
