Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask, but could we get a community for pet pics? That's, like, a third of the reason I use the internet.

How can I make links like that open in the Jerboa app? Every time I click on a link, my browser is opened and I'm asked to login.
Go to your phone's settings -> Apps -> Default Apps -> Opening Links -> choose Jerboa -> Add Link
Just found that out myself
Thank you!
that's a big help - thanks
Some kinda community for cute stuff will definitely be coming but we're currently looking into volume storage before we make a photo based community and max out our storage real fast 🫠
fwiw, I'm a big fan of this idea
I missed new community suggestion thread but I think a futurology community would fit beehaw's vibes really well. I'd gladly contribute!
I'm just hoping for an Android and PCGaming community. Both of which have large enough communities that they don't really fit with Gaming or Tech.
Those are the two communities I miss most from Reddit.
For now I would encourage you to post in gaming. This place isn't so huge that it'll get lost in the noise.
sitting here reeling at the size of this W
Sorry if this is a noob question but can only admins open communities?
Like for example if I wanted to create and moderate the following:
- /c/thegoldengator (like /r/thegoldengator)
- /c/twitch (like /r/twitch)
I would apply to do so somehow? Trying to figure out the user interface but maybe it's limited because I'm on mobile.
Thanks
Correct we do not let users create communities on this instance. Most other instances do, or you can spin up your own instance to do so.
Maybe this is not how it works at all and it's better to host your own instance?
Just learned that kbin magazines federate pretty well on Lemmy just by adding an @kbin.social at the end.
Example URL: https://beehaw.org/c/thegoldengator@kbin.social
That is only one way though. KBin to Lemmy doesn't retain the /c/ community name as /m/ currently. Instead posts end up in /m/random/. This will probably be fixed in the future.
Awesome. Y'all are managing beehaw very well!!
Might we get a Mental Health community please? I will contribute (am therapist)
Thanks friends! I love these community choices. Especially City Life! : )
Cool, thanks!
I would have preferred if "literature" was called "books" instead, but nice to see such a community.
Personally, literature is probably a better name imo, as it's much more versatile and not limited to just books. This could include things, such as poetry and sharing tips & tricks on a variety of topics on the overarching subject of reading and writing.
That way smaller, niche communities with barely any following can be avoided and people with other interests, other than specifically books, have a community as well.
Can we get a weed beehaw?
great additions!
I wonder if there is enough of a community for a /c/chess.
I'm interested. I also miss /r/anarchychess :(
We’re federated, right? I’ve just slung one up on kbin that anyone interested should be able to follow from here:
So because of federation I can subscribe to a kbin community from Jerboa even though my account is on beehaw which is running on Lemmy which is a different platform to kbin... That's cool!
Good, isn’t it! All the flexibility and none of the limits 😁
If you're on Beehaw this link may make it easier https://beehaw.org/c/PetPics@kbin.social
Also chiming in with a "thank you." As a brand new Lemmy / Beehaw user, I'm still getting used to how Lemmy works. Should probably read the documentation 😅
Ah! Thank you - I was pondering how to connect with remote communities 😁
Is there any specific way to request communities? I would like to create and mod c/animemes and c/WritingPrompts
