What Lemmy … Group do you follow ( still not sure how do you call them)
For now I just have :

I’m sure there are more interesting ones that I’m not aware of :)
And the best part you dont even have to have an account there thanks to #activitypub and the #fediverse

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 firstIf you format your links like this…
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.
To make the link work,
- I signed up for a profile on https://sh.itjust.works
- I searched for the community on https://browse.feddit.de to get the link
- I copied and pasted the link into the search field of https://sh.itjust.works
- searched for Monero and the community now showed up
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?
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.
@sneakyninjapants Great post, thanks for sharing!
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.
Oh so many communities. Most of them not on dbzer0.

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.
