Edit: Fixed links for desktop, no idea if it works the same for mobile apps
Write it like [/c/sublemmy@lemmy.server](/c/sublemmy@lemmy.server) and it will link correctly. If it’s giving you a 404 error just wait a minute and try again, the server needs to download the sub first
No not at all. Just try pasting https://lemmy.ml/c/piracynews Into the search page. It should bring up a link to the community in the search results, maybe immediately if someone from dbzer0.com has already subscribed there, if not it might take a few seconds. You should be able to follow the link in search and subscribe in the sidebar once you get there.
That is likely because you instance hasn’t pulled the information about the community.
For me the reliable way to make it do so is to type it into a search bar (in the format !community@instance), as the message in the sidebar of communities on other instances say. And then refresh the page, to see that it actually did that.
Yeah this looks like a pain point at the moment. I’m going with “I’m a newb to lemmy’s way of linking” by default as I’m sure I’m just doin it wrong. If not, hopefully that can be made more seamless, or the knowledge of how to do it the right way can spread far enough that it becomes a non-issue.
When I view an external post from my home instance, it has less comments than the source. Does it eventually catch up? How long does that take usually?
Here’s screenshots of what I’m talking about. My home instance is monero.town and the post has 39 comment. When I click the rainbow fedilink icon that takes me to the source instance at beehaw it has 70 comments.
Will my home instance eventually show 70 comments as well? It’s a 2 day old article. How long does it take?
I feel like I’m missing out if I don’t go to the original source every time. But if I go the original source, I won’t be able to comment or upvote because I’ll be on their instance instead of my home instance.
@phloatingman Yeah I think something’s broken or mis-coded perhaps. Looking at things, I think the exclamation point needs to be removed from the final URL to work.
Warning: if you are using Jerboa, the /c/ notation will crash the app, at least the playstore version (0.0.33), I don’t know if its fixed on the latest version

Edit: And just in case: You don’t have to make an extra account for those. Just search the community name either in your communit’s section in the browser (top left and don’t forget to select “all” to get everything) or search them in your app (On Android it’s on the bottom second icon from the left).
On Lemmy they call them communities, same for other Fediverse software like Kbin and Mastadon. I like Lemmy because it’s most “Reddit like”, but Mastadon is more mature and slicker. It resembles Twitter more.
It’s the move of the piracy sub from Reddit that pushed me over to Lemmy. I’m really glad it gave me the push to do it. Had Lemmy bookmarked for a long time, but never motivated on it.
I have interest in other communities as well. There’s a pretty healthy set on the Fediverse. Here’s a site that’s helpful in finding them on Lemmy; https://lemmyverse.net
I’m still working on adding communites and getting used to the interface so I don’t have any suggestions, but it doesn’t seem there’s a lack of active content there.
None. I just got here and am a little disappointed that (as best as I can tell anyway) it’s not named after the greatest rock and roll bassist the world has ever known. But I’ll do some looking around and see what it’s all about.
Over at Lemmy.ninja we maintain a community for finding communities called Community Search Tips. We started this because it was surprisingly hard to figure out what to subscribe to when you’re brand new. Probably the best resource for finding communities is the feddit.de Community browser. I like it because the results are sorted by post count, which is helpful for finding active communities.
Here’s my subscribed list as of right now. (Keep in mind my cake day is June 13.)
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: !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
⚓ Dedicated to the discussion of digital piracy, including ethical problems and legal advancements.
Lots already. Of course depends on what your interest are. For ex. my subs
Edit: Fixed links for desktop, no idea if it works the same for mobile apps
Write it like
[/c/sublemmy@lemmy.server](/c/sublemmy@lemmy.server)and it will link correctly. If it’s giving you a 404 error just wait a minute and try again, the server needs to download the sub first@sneakyninjapants Great post, thanks for sharing!
@share_your_art @piracy @vim @hyde
Do I have to creat an account for each instance? I don’t understand :(
No not at all. Just try pasting
https://lemmy.ml/c/piracynewsInto the search page. It should bring up a link to the community in the search results, maybe immediately if someone from dbzer0.com has already subscribed there, if not it might take a few seconds. You should be able to follow the link in search and subscribe in the sidebar once you get there.thanks a lot for this!
No problem! I’m going to revise my post now that I’ve figured out how to link to a sub properly, so check back in a few.
If you format your links like this…
/c/monero@monero.town
the links will be clickable and the user can subscribe to them from their home instance.
Thanks, I don’t know the proper way of formatting yet as it seems to depend on who you ask. Early days still.
Edit: Getting a 404 error when following that link on my sh.itjust.works instance. Think this is part of the problem.
That is likely because you instance hasn’t pulled the information about the community.
For me the reliable way to make it do so is to type it into a search bar (in the format !community@instance), as the message in the sidebar of communities on other instances say. And then refresh the page, to see that it actually did that.
You’re likely right. Just checked the link again and it’s now showing a community. Thanks again!
Edit: how are you formatting that link?
literally just the link?
/c/monero@monero.townor is it something like how links work on markdown?
[/c/monero@monero.town](https://idk-what-here/c/monero)I think that should be a question to @phloatingman@monero.town
Sorry, I meant how did you write it out in the reply box, since it seems to take markdown format I wasn’t sure.
I am probably missing something, my comment doesn’t have any links
If you click the source icon, it will show you the markdown code for any post or reply…
https://files.catbox.moe/993ba0.png
Beautiful! Thank you! Me dumb dumb big time.
[/c/monero@monero.town](/c/monero@monero.town)^ how its written in the text box
/c/monero@monero.town
^ how it shows up once submitted
There! I did it!
To make the link work,
Had to do all that to make the link work. 🤦
Yeah this looks like a pain point at the moment. I’m going with “I’m a newb to lemmy’s way of linking” by default as I’m sure I’m just doin it wrong. If not, hopefully that can be made more seamless, or the knowledge of how to do it the right way can spread far enough that it becomes a non-issue.
It’s taken me awhile to figure out stuff. I’m still confused about certain things as well.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I’m still a newb but I’ve managed to learn a lot the last week or so
Thanks! I did have a question about comments.
When I view an external post from my home instance, it has less comments than the source. Does it eventually catch up? How long does that take usually?

(IE: https://kbin.social/m/!privacyguides@lemmy.one -> https://kbin.social/m/privacyguides@lemmy.one)
I think I might use Redirector to correct it internally in the interim

Warning: if you are using Jerboa, the /c/ notation will crash the app, at least the playstore version (0.0.33), I don’t know if its fixed on the latest version
0.0.34 also crashed.
@share_your_art @piracy @vim thanks far the feedbacks !
Oh so many communities. Most of them not on dbzer0.
i use jerboa to browse lemmy, when i click those links they open in a browser…how do i actually add those comunitys?
That’s because the links posted are in the wrong format. Correct would be c/linux@lemmy.ml, /c/linux@lemmy.ml or !linux@lemmy.ml
Here’s my list: (I think they are called communities here)
For now only !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !memes@lemmy.ml, I hope to find more interesting ones soon
@kakise I posted some here
https://lazybear.io/posts/reddit-fiasco/ 😉
Oh boy, here I go…
Edit: And just in case: You don’t have to make an extra account for those.

I see you have a table top minis one. By any chance, have you come across any good board gaming communities?
Sure, here you go: !boardgames@feddit.de
Awesome, thank you very much!!!

Kbin actually calls them magazines.
None. I just got here and am a little disappointed that (as best as I can tell anyway) it’s not named after the greatest rock and roll bassist the world has ever known. But I’ll do some looking around and see what it’s all about.
Look no more fam
It’s called Communities, not groups :)
@Krafting never been interested in Reddit :)
On reddit it’s called subreddits, on the fediverse (lemmy, kbin) it’s communities!
On kbin they call them magazines.
Oh, didn’t know that! thanks!
@Krafting Argh …🤦♂️ thanks !

Here’s my subscribed list as of right now. (Keep in mind my cake day is June 13.)
My list is getting to long. Some are: Technology, science, android, asklemmy, obsidian, news, worldnews, privacy.
In short, anything I’m interested in.
/c/obsidianmd
You’re going to want to include the instances they belong to.
I would, but I’m on Jerboa and it doesn’t offer any share options.
Well, you could type them. Otherwise we have no idea what communities you’re talking about. You’re just listing interests.
