Hopefully, I’m not breaking any rules by posting this here!

I thought that instead of every community being on the main lemmy.ml instance I’d host a different (dedicated) instance for refugee rustaceans to get a hang of the fediverse.

It’s listed on join-lemmy/instances and the link is lemmyrs.org, everyone is welcome!

    Whoa thanks! I subbed to your two communities over there.

    I like the idea of having topic-based instances, because then you can have a collection of communities dedicated to it. IE https://lemmyrs.org/c/{memes, news, support}, etc.

      Greetings! The legend himself!

      I made the suggested communities over at lemmyrs.org. The next few weeks are going to be very interesting!

        How can I subscribe to the communities over your server ? I am on mobile and can’t how to do it. Tried the mobile web ui and jerboa on Android

        Edit: just found out after clicking on your profile I could see all the communities. But suppose I wanted to subscribe to the communities over there from my account on an other instance how can I do it ?

          I myself have been figuring things out, but ideally you should be able to just go to Communites -> Search and it should show all the relevant named communities from other instances (as long as the instances are listed in federation, which lemmyrs.org is fwiw).

          Admittedly that functionality is a little flaky in my limited experience.

              Hmm, I’ll try to debug that tomorrow. It has been a bit flaky in my experience as well. Some folks have had success subscribing from other instances fwiw but its been admittedly inconsistent.
