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!

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.

I can't figure out how to sub from szmer.info, I tried typing the whole URL to https://lemmyrs.org/c/rustlang in the search bar, and nothing is found.

[–] admin@lemmyrs.org 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Okay, so it is definitely a little wonky but I was able to search for lemmyrs.org/c/rustlang from another instance.

I first had to paste the full url https://lemmyrs.org/c/rustlang in the search bar then click search a few times for it to actually show up.

I understand it's very annoying that it is this way but I'm hopeful that the experience will smooth out over time.

Oof. Once the performance problems are sorted out, improving this really should be next on the developers' agenda.

[–] kuna@szmer.info 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks, but when I tried spamming "search" it doesn't seem to work, while spamming "next" eventually hangs the whole thing. Could be a problem on my side, my instance is running Lemmy 0.16.7.

[–] admin@lemmyrs.org 2 points 1 year ago

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.

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

I would suggest something like help for folks to ask for help.

[–] admin@lemmyrs.org 3 points 1 year ago

I've added https://lemmyrs.org/c/support for largely the same reason :)

[–] beto@lemmy.studio 1 points 1 year ago

I just did the same at lemmy.studio, it's a wonderful idea!
