I’ve already started seeing a lot of redundant communities being made here that have already existed on other Lemmy instances, and lemmy.ml is at risk of centralization and overload, so now is a great time to raise awareness of other instances.

For science topics, mander.xyz has a lot of good ones set up, and !solarpunk@slrpnk.net on slrpnk.net has been great!

edit: for new users - you can type ! to begin autofilling a community, even for ones on other instances, like I did for the solarpunk community above. It may take a few seconds for the autofill results to show up if you have a slow connection like me.

      How do I subscribe to that sopuli one, since it doesn’t show up in my local search results?

    Gotta plug my instance :)

    PopHeads and fans of pop music rejoice, I have an entire instance just for you. Come and post all of your pop music theories, favorite tracks, costumes, memes, snarky comments, and all other related things. Hell, create a new community if you like!

    Will be creating more as interest demands, or create one of your own, we know there’s already a few fans of Camila Cabello there and I know I love CRJ :)

    Oh, and to ease the stress, my registration is currently open for any lurkers

      Sounds fun! Looks fun! However I am having trouble subscribing. Nothing is found when I search. Now, I know you aren’t tech support but pointing me in the right direction and telling what I am doing wrong herr would be amazing.

        Interesting. You can also try https://poptalk.scrubbles.tech/c/popheads. On the website I know there’s a bug where it doesn’t show a loading spinner either, so it may take a few seconds after clicking search for it to show up even though it looks like it’s not doing anything.

        Lemmy.ml is also inundated with new members right now, they’re actually 404ing for me right now, so they may be having issues connecting.

      Is there a guide for how to register on multiple Lemmy instances? I am registered here, but noticed that I can’t subscribe to communities on other instances? I assume I need to register there as well, but how do I get my subscriptions on both instances to funnel into the same place?

      Thanks! Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this

        Nope you can subscribe to other lemmy instances. You just need to know their link. For example, if you want to follow my Taylor Swift community and become a full blown swiftie like me, you can do this: (Make sure All, All, and All are selected when searching)

      The first rule of moretankie196 is you do not talk about the first rule.

    I’m on feddit.de, which is a German server whith a friendly community. There’s also feddit.it and feddit.dk for Italian or danish people. Would be cool if we see more European feddits, that work together and help each other out.

    And for my favorite communities that aren’t on lemmy.ml

    !gaming on beehaw.org and !ich_iel (which is the German version of me_irl) on feddit.de

    I quite like that Beecaw doesn’t federate the Tankies.

    I don’t really need a genocide denying group ofauthoritarians in my face first thing in the morning.
