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 made https://lemmy.world/c/guitars and you’ll NEVER guess what we talk about.
Hey Art- how’s that gig at kruger industral smoothing? Lol. Anyway I just got here from reddit and the first thing I was looking for was the equivalent of /r/guitars. Is your server federated with lemmy.ml? I can’t seem to subscribe…
Edit - i figured it out! Someone has to search for your link in their instances search at least once. I guess that was me! Kinda fun being on the first wave of reddit refugees.
lol i had the same issue, I’m getting all this federation stuff figured out too :)
edit: i was so happy i got Art Vandelay as a username! George is my spirit animal
Great idea, r/guitar never reached it’s true potential with a lack of clear direction target, I hope that one will work better
/r/guitar gave a great example of everything not to do in an online guitar enthusiast forum, at least from a mod perspective. You won’t find that bullshit at /c/guitars as long as i have anything to do with it, we just vibe and talk shop.
