What niche reddit community do you want to see find a place on the fediverse? (beehaw.org)

I've seen a few people mention fighting games on here (e.g. Street Fighter). I'd be interested in that. The number of gameplay clips people would be sharing make me think it ought to be its own instance, though.

Also:

pens, fountain pens
mechanical keyboards
watches

Some communities have been created for those, but don't seem to have gained much popularity.

I've set up !fgc@kbin.social

It's probably not practical to have subs for individual games just yet though.

I've created https://kbin.social/m/mechanicalkeyboards, but there's nothing there yet

How would you access this from Lemmy? Does there need to be explicit federation?

I'm on lemmy.one, and I've tried https://lemmy.one/c/mechanicalkeyboards@kbin.social, but it doesn't seem to do anything but give me a 404

EDIT: Never mind, it seems something happened in the background, and the link now works for me.

I'm trying to get it on lemmy.ml and doing the same kind of link as you and I'm also getting a 404. It doesn't seem to be updating like yours is, but I will check back I guess. Did you do anything different while waiting for it to work?

[–] FirstWizardZorander@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think I went to the search function and searched for !mechanicalkeyboards@kbin.social Some time after that, the link started to work.

[–] misnina@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's worked for me before on something else on a different lemmy instance, but it doesn't seem to be working for me this time. I wonder if it's because it's kbin? Not sure.

[–] FirstWizardZorander@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hmm, I tried from lemmy.ml as well, as you're on that instance, and it doesn't seem to work from there. Some federation issue due to load maybe?

[–] misnina@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Possibly. I won't bug them too much right now, I'm sure there's a lot to handle.
