What are some great communities to follow that are not on lemmy.ml or beehaw (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

The way Lemmy works right now is you search a community in your instance for it to then get shown, so you need to first discover that community from elsewhere. With that in mind, what are some growing communities that you discovered that could get some more love?

I get no results? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, sorry

Hm, that's surprising. I didn't expect mobile Chrome to work like that when copying links. Try copying and pasting the link text instead, e.g. [!news@lemmy.pineapplemachine.com](/c/news@lemmy.pineapplemachine.com)? But be aware that it can take a moment for the sync to happen and anything to show up, as well.

I keep getting logged out every time I visit another sub-lemmy page? I'm trying to subscribe from the button but then I get taken to their site and logged out. Logging in takes forever as well. When I copy and paste the ! Link into the feddit.uk search I get no results as well.

I'm really not sure, but it sounds like these could be issues related to feddit.uk? I suggest asking about this on a community there, or messaging an admin of that instance.

Running into this too, on desktop. It's pretty confusing.

It can take a very long time sometimes for the community to show up. It is still searching in the background even though it says "No results".
