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.
Thank you for the fast response. It’s really appreciated. When I follow your link I still cannot subscribe. I get “not ogged in” whe. Trying to subscribe through the communities tab. Or I get the enter thing into the search bar prompt.
Hmmm, I haven’t done it through the app before, let me get back to you on this. I’ve been having some troubles with the app too…
Not on an app, mobile on android here.
Oh don’t go to the link, paste it into the search bar from your logged-in instance. (The other one should also have worked, but again lemmy.ml is a bit slow and may be having issues).
This is how it looked to me from the website, make sure “All, All, and All” are selected
