I’m not seeing a camping community on the cross-instance community browser but it looks like there’s one backpacking and several “outdoors” aka outdoor recreation communities as potential places to post/subscribe to, in case Beehaw doesn’t make its own.

Hey awesome thanks I didn't know about the cross instance searching. When I try to subscribe to them it says I'm not signed in, do I have to make another account on those instances??
Don't follow the link directly.
- Click on 'Communities' at the top of your page.
- In the search bar, enter the full community url, i.e.
https://lemmy.ml/c/thruhiking. - Click 'Search'. Most likely nothing will happen immediately.
When you clicked Search, your instance started fetching posts from the thruhiking community on the lemmy[.]ml instance and storing it on your beehaw[.]org instance. Give it a second and click search again. You should now see the community in the results.
Click it, and you'll go to the community through your instance, keeping you logged in and able to subscribe and all that stuff.
This process only has to happen if you're the first person on your instance to search for that particular community.
Thank you so so much
Generally, you can subscribe to them from beehaw – admittedly I haven’t found a great way to go from browsing another instance to beehaw’s “window” into that instance. I’ve been searching post titles from other instances while on beehaw and clicking in that way, but it’s not elegant. Hopefully other folks have better tips!
Thanks, good to know I just need to fiddle with it a little. I was on mobile earlier so maybe that was my problem.
Would this include RV camping, van-dwelling, car/vehicle camping or would that be a different Yeehive?
Caveat: new here! From what I’ve seen, broader communities are being encouraged to help with activity levels – so I imagine all of the topics you mention would be welcome.
I love the car camping community and I think they are akin to hiking and stuff
i think trhru-hiking is different from backpacking, different from vanlife, and different from travel : not the same purpose, gear and way to travel. Should be different community.
