Random Communities that your Lemmy instance doesnt display.
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!
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)
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.
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
