Search for !seahawks@lemmy.ml
There’s (not yet) dozens of us!
I’m new here, and I’m finding it’s easier to join communities not on my hosted instance if links to the community are formatted like this:
!jaguars@lemmy.ml - Jacksonville Jaguars
Instead of like this:
I need to log in to a mobile browser to my instance (https://sh.itjust.works), then search with the !jaguars@lemmy.ml string, then subscribe through the sidebar… Just searching with team names is hit and miss, and I can’t seem to ever find anything by url. And going right to the url only lets you join if you’re logged into that instance…
Are other people finding it less than intuitive to find and join communities?
I’m going to go join and be a supporter of NFL on Lemmy. Once the community is up and running, I’ll retreat into nfl@lemmy.ml and seahawks@lemmy.ml…
Until then, I’m a fan of every team community, if not every team!
Thanks for the help! For others reading along, I learned a good way to find communities is:
Edit: I posted for help at the sh.itjust.works main community, you may want to follow along there. https://sh.itjust.works/post/42200
For others reading along, I learned a good way to find communities is:
1)go to http://browse.feddit.de and search for communities by title (“NFL”, “broncos”, “NFCN_meme_war”). This is to make sure you’re seeing if your desired community exists somewhere.
2)log into your account at a place like http://www.beehaw.org (for me it is http://sh.itjust.works)
3)search by the title again (not the url that feddit.de let’s you copy… Don’t know why)
4)click the link to the community, it opens in your browser
5)click the sidebar link, click subscribe
6)now you can log into your app (for me it’s jerboa for Lemmy) and see post from those communities in your subscribed feed!
This seems arduous, and it is, but it’s just because I’ve been reading that search for communities in jerboa isn’t functional yet, because we’re all so new! It’ll like get better soon
(Stop reading, below here is an approach I was trying after reading up on the fediverse, but it wasn’t working for me. Saved for posterity)
(Seriously, this didn’t work)

go to http://browse.feddit.de
-
search for communities by title (“NFL”, “broncos”, “NFCN_meme_war”)
-
click the copy icon for a community (it copies the instance and community name in the right format, like, “https://lemmy.ml/c/nfl” or “https://lemmy.world/c/bills”)
-
go to your fediverse app (for me it’s jerboa, you might have another) or log into your fediverse instance in a browser (you might already have an account at a place like http://www.beehaw.org)
-
search for a community, and paste the data you copied in step 3, above.
I hope this works!
(Edit… It’s not quite working, I find communities at browse.feddit.de, but copy/search/paste isn’t getting it done)

Great start. I hope to see more former redditors join the federation!
If anyone cares, I joined lemmy through sh.itjust.works instance on lemmy, downloaded jerboa for lemmy app, sand in searching “NFL” and all the teams to try and build a community.
When I click to see your broncos community, I’m taken to the lemmy.ml instance. I wonder if I’m doing things wrong, because I thought federation meant I could log in at sh.itjust.works, and I could see and interact with all the federated communities?
sadly… yes. I’m just not finding the community here that I built up there over 11 years. I know, I know, give this 11 years and we’ll get there, too… but it’s still over there.
I did the whole “delete all comments and posts and replace with the API reasoning text” thing, for my main and my few alts. BUt I find I still am heading over there on browser through old.reddit and lurking.
