Anyone in, from or interested in Greater Manchester?

I guess this will be more difficult now that the Reddit sub is back online but I've set up a Manchester group at !manchester@mcr.town - please feel free to come along, post stuff and have fun!

You might notice it's on a Manchester-based instance too (mcr.town) - feel free to join that too. It's a sibling site to our small (but active enough) Mastodon site (mcr.wtf) which is also open to new people

I’ll check it out! Also check out the communities over at feddit.uk

I'll join from kbin (federation is still too cool to me to not call it out)

It's great, isn't it? I was having a conversation with someone on here the other day and didn't realise they were on Mastodon. I'd shared the original post there and replies turned up in Lemmy and vice-versa. It's very cool.

The only thing I wish could be improved is the having to manually go back to your home instance and search for a community on another server. It feels even worse than the same process on Mastodon, which already feels clunky.

Now I'm confused - if I'm logged into lemmy world, it's this not just another community that I can subscribe to? Why does the link take me to somewhere with no (obvious) subscribe?

Can you please explain? Tia

You're not limited to communities on lemmy.world, but you need to visit them through lemmy.world in order to subscribe.

He's posted the actual remote link to the community, but here's a local one that should work for you.

(If you end up on a remote community like that there should usually be instructions on how to subscribe in the sidebar, also)
