Mintyytea,

you can click the Search button for the entire site lemmy.world (not search for community), and type the whole website address https://midwest.social/c/succulents , and then wait for it to find the link to the instance itself. Then you click Subscribe. It would add this to the communities search for lemmy.world if no one had added it yet

Mintyytea,

here is one for kbin https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/52838/A-starting-guide-to-kbin-social-support-thread-for-new-users

I think lemmy has a documentation website, and even though it's called documentation, it can be helpful when you want to add a community that's not already searchable.

I do have a tip for kbin too, which is to visit your Settings sooner than later and opt into notifications so you can actually be able to respond back to people. The default is very barebones which I guess is good

Mintyytea,

Oh I browse on mobile on the browser too. I think you can click the button with the 3 lines and click Subscribed instead of All to get your subs.

This is also janky atm, but if you want to see your list of the magazines you subscribed to, there actually is a way xD You click Profile, then there's a bunch of metrics (number of boosts you did, threads you made, etc. ), and you scroll to the right until you see "Subscribed". When you click that, it shows your magazines so you can go to them. I'm sure they'll make this a lot easier to get to in the future

What notifications do you have?
I have this
X Notify me of comments in my threads

X Notify me of replies to my threads comments

X Notify me of replies in my posts

X Notify me of replies to my posts comments

Notify me of new threads in a subscribed magazine <- I actually deselected this because I got too many notifications for me to look through

Notify me of new posts in a subscribed magazine

Mintyytea,

That's a weird bug. If you set this one - Notify me of new threads in a subscribed magazine - even that one doesn't show notifications? But I guess it's weird it's not notifying you of my replies to you, it should at least do that. If I didn't get notifications of your responses, there's no way I'd be able to know about it I think :/ Sorry you're experiencing this.

Mintyytea,

@ernest

Is it possible to rename the display name for this magazine to "ADHD memes"? The original instance updated the display name, but the address will always be the same.

Forum on the original instance is here https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/adhd

Mintyytea,

oh maybe we should prepare some instances in advance to invite people to come to. There's a list of kbin servers, and lemmy servers. I'd just like to know if there's a way to like mass add some communities. I would make an account on kbin.place, which seems new and for the US, but I don't know if I can add that many magazines

Mintyytea,

If you wanna see other kbin servers you can join, there's a list here https://kbin.fediverse.observer/list
kbin.place looks like it's in the US and has less people?

Is there an easy way to mass subscribe to many magazines on a new server though? I don't know how ernest added so many for kbin.social, but it would definitely help new members not have a tough time.

I made an account on a newer server for lemmy - lemmy.studio - and I have to say, having to manually add communities really just feels like an unneccessary step, and harder to do considering you'd have to search communities/magazines from both lemmy (https://lemmyverse.net/communities) and kbin (not sure if there's a site to search for magazines besides https://kbin.social/magazines)

Mintyytea,

@db0

Sorry if it's not allowed to post like this (just lmk and I'll delete, or feel free to delete), but do you think it would be a good idea to rename this community to something like "adhdmeme"? I'm browsing from kbin.social, where the name is just "adhd", which makes it hard for me to differentiate if the post on my feed is coming from lighter forum, or if it's from this slightly more serious forum also called adhd (but from kbin)

Mintyytea,

Ahh I see, yeah on your instance, I saw it's already called ADHD memes. Thanks, maybe I can contact the first person that subscribed to update the name displayed on kbin.

Mintyytea,

I don't knoww haha, because I would have to check on the original instance, and most of the time I just subscribe and move on.
I think on kbin.social one of the developers is adding the new communities very quickly so the display name is based on the address one.

This is what it looks like on kbin.social - https://kbin.social/m/adhd@lemmy.dbzer0.com

When I do search on kbin.social however for a community, ones on lemmy won't show with the display name anyway I think; it will show the address like "adhd@lemmy.dbzer0.com"

I was able to find and add this community because of a reddit migration directory to show me this community is for adhdmemes :)

Mintyytea,

Thanks for responding so fast! I think you already did everything you could. I'm sure it will be better once someone is able to change the display title at least. I'm glad this community is taking off :)

Mintyytea,

I hate when I do this with my ipad. It’s so heavy and hurts!
