let’s spread the love so other instances/communities can be discovered easier
here are a few I recommend:
I still don’t quite understand how to subscribe to other communities on this thing.
I did the following on Jerboa
- save this post (we’ll be revisiting this a few times)
- go to the search function that is indicated by the bulleted list icon
- enter the community name (without the @… part)
- there’ll be a few results
- tap on them, see the posts if you want, and tap the subscribe button and see that it shows joined
- go to saved posts, repeat until subscribed to every community you want
Having said that, there’s probably a simpler way to do this. Still early in the learning process.
I will normaly just go to the community on the instance of the community and then on the right side (don’t know about mobile) there is:
" You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosting@slrpnk.net "
on my instance you also have to add to the search that all servers schould be searched. And then it works out.
Also some of links when I start brwosing the fediverse from my instance also bring me to the community without leaving my home instance but i didn’t figured this out jet.
it’s when you format a link like this /c/community@instance, instead of the full url. Example Link so regardless of your particular server instance, that link will stay local, if the linked community is not yet synced (federated) it will 404 though, that will happen a lot for a the first few weeks of growing this service, particularly if you are on a smaller server that might be updating slower or is under strain.
