List of subs people may find familiar

How do we mass subscribe to all?

Sam_uk, 10 months ago

@LEDZeppelin you can't at the moment

Thank you! This list is very nice. Wonder if we could maintain an editable wiki page on lemmy or kbin somehow though...

Thank you for this list!

Another good resource which has helped me during the transition from Reddit: sub.rehab.

Neato!

Cat, 10 months ago

Wow, whoever owns kbin.world forwarded it to lemmy.world. 😐

Brkdncr, 10 months ago

Is that squatting?

Sam_uk, 10 months ago

@Cat Hmm that doesn't sound correct. Would you be willing to say where in the world you are and provide a screenshot of what you see please?

Cat, 10 months ago

@Sam_uk Thanks for making me take another look. When I go to https://kbin.world/ it forwards me to https://kbin.social/m/usnews@lemmy.world

So I guess it wasn't bringing me to the lemmy domain, just to view the lemmy community through kbin.

Sam_uk, 10 months ago

@Cat I wrote a bit more about it here: https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/210618/kbin-world

Cat, 10 months ago

@Sam_uk, nice! Thanks. I was on an IP somewhere in the US (VPN). So maybe I got a different result today being on a different IP. At least I know what is going on at kbin.world now. It all makes sense :-)

They actually made it redirect to a community based on your local area. Which may happen to be hosted on Lemmy.

Any from other instances?

obosob, 10 months ago

lemmyverse.net is the most complete list you’re likely to find since it uses a crawler to find federated instances and their communities from an initial seed list of known instances. So unless an instance is defederated from all of the instances in their seed list then it should appear on there. It also counts subscriber numbers, etc. as a sum across all the instances it finds, which should give a sense of where the majority of the community are gathered if there are duplicates.

You should be using !asklemmy type links instead of direct URLs. If I click, it kicks me out of my app to where I can’t subscribe as I’m not logged in to that instance.

Using the link I provided allows users to subscribe from the instance they are using. Your method would require they be on desktop and change the URL path manually so they can subscribe from their instance.

I'm pretty new to this, myself. So do I just go, for example, !240sx ?

EDIT: Apparently not. It doesn't seem to be linking to the local magazine. I tried to use !240sx@kbin.social.

Tygr, 10 months ago

What you put, !240sx should work if you don’t end it with a period?

Edit: There also appears to be a !240sx as well based on my quick search.

herpderpedia, 10 months ago

There's not a period at the end. That's outside of the inline markdown to end my sentence.

Also yes there is. That's my community on Lemmy as @herpderpedia. Although the owner isn't right when I go to it on Kbin.

garrettw87, 10 months ago

@Tygr @herpderpedia Kbin does not support !community links just yet, but it's in the works on some level. Linking to Lemmy communities from here can't really be done without the full URL, which does mean one would have to provide two links - one that works on Kbin, and one that points to the original instance.

In related news, linking to Kbin magazines is currently a bit borked as well, because the only other syntax that works (@magname) is assumed to refer to a user account and not a magazine.

Chickenlambchops, 10 months ago

So for instance. If I’m on Lemmy how do I add the 3d printing community?

Sam_uk, 10 months ago

@Chickenlambchops does the link work now?

Chickenlambchops, 10 months ago

It works. It brings me to kbin but there is no button to add to Lemmy.

Sam_uk, 10 months ago

@Tygr Thanks for the tip! Edited.

Sam_uk, 10 months ago

Using !community notation is a Lemmy-only thing. Not everybody is reading this from Lemmy, and this particular community and the OP are both on /kbin. Providing direct URLs is a more generally useful way of linking to communities in the fediverse.

Sam_uk, 10 months ago

@trynn Just looking again it does now seem to work on Kbin. I'll do a bit more testing and maybe edit the list if it works.

@Tygr

trynn, 10 months ago

It works from a Lemmy instance to see a /kbin magazine. It does not work the other way (from /kbin to see a Lemmy community).
