Random Communities that your Lemmy instance doesnt display. (lemmy.kde.social)

I want to make a thread of Lemmy communities that people should know about.

Jerboah (which makes Lemmy usable for me) or my instance have real troubles finding a lot of communities on distant servers, and opening them from Firefox also doesnt work.

We dont need more tech stuff, we need to make Lemmy more useful!

There is a website named lemmy-federate.com for this job.

Does it actually work? All of the jobs are "in progress" except one one the homepage

It works, those statuses are just a bit misleading

How it works is it subs to a community (from all instances connected to it) until someone from an instance subs and then it unsubs in that instance. In the previous version of the site when it unsubbed it would mark the instance it unsubbed from as completed on that community (although seems to be a bit broken here)

Yes, the status is broken. The tool is working but not unsubscribing.

The source of the problem is that I cannot access the count of local subscribers at the moment. Therefore, it is not clear whether the tool should unsubscribe or not. I've created a merge request for this and the problem will be fixed in 0.19.4.

It looks like reddthat.com is on 0.19.4 and it's working correctly for them now.

Thank you!

TBH I don't know. I never tried it before. Unfortunately there is no contact form on the site either.

If you like our communities so much, you could also create an account on slrpnk.net 😊

But yeah, two smaller instances with not much overlap in interests by their users tend to not federate well and you need to go the extra mile to search out the communities and subscribe to them.

[–] Blaze@dormi.zone 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Interesting, feel free to crosspost to !communitypromo@lemmy.ca or even !newcommunities@lemmy.world

[–] rollingflower@lemmy.kde.social 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Thanks, exactly what I searched for.

Lemmy has a huge problem with federation of small servers it seems? At least my server has immense troubles loading anything from some servers and it seems clicking the ! Links forces the server to load them.

I think every instance should promote a random community every day to prevent this tech-only and only big community monopoly

[–] Blaze@dormi.zone 1 points 7 months ago

Definitely. On !casualconversation@lemm.ee we listed a few non tech communities in the sidebar, feel free to have a look

Wrong handle:

!DIY@slrpnk.ner

vs.

!DIY@slrpnk.net

Imagine Git for Lemmy

Usually if a community doesn't load the first time, I just refresh the page and it loads.
