That’s what this does:
[Some text here](community@instance.here)
Tap the ‘more’ skinny hamburger menu just above below this message to ‘view source’ of the below:
blah blah blah links to asklemmy@lemmy.ml
Actually…better, here is one for an instance that is neither yours or the one you posted into:
This comment needs to be upvoted to the top.
I initially only found one kbin instance and it was getting crushed. I also found it not as intuitive (for me of course).
I will look at it. Does indeed sound like my kind of place. Would be interesting to see some kind of lemmy ‘moderator server’ or some way to elevate users homed on other instances to moderator on local.
RE my own instance: I question my own longevity and financial stability is why I do not make my own. Also, tho I am a Network Engineer, I in no way trust my Security chops, and would be terrified with anything involving passwords and possibly an email address. I do have a local lemmy spun up just for the learns.
That is definitely what I would prefer. But I want to take longevity into account: Lemmy’s that already have an established donation pipeline, accept community creation, somewhat discerning federation and hopefully the hosting to deal for the long haul. It would be nice to know if there is a community migration method if an instance wants to go offline.
It’s quite simple. Create a pocket account at https://getpocket.com
Add some articles or Web Serial chapters to your pocket (easier with the Save to Pocket extension)
Add the Pocket account to your Kobo.
Sync your kobo.
It’s such an under advertised feature of the Kobo devices.
Better but personally I don’t like creating accounts on the kobo, would rather do on the desktop: https://help.kobo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017763753-Use-the-Pocket-App-with-your-Kobo-eReader
-Vimium (install and hit the letter 'f' key. You will immediately understand the appeal if you are a keyboard jockey)
-A Userscript handler (Violentmonkey)
-Dark Reader
-Save to Pocket (I have a Kobo ereader, this extension is a must for reading on the go)
-Bitwarden
-Ublock if the browser doesn't have baked in Ad blocks.
I love reading the responses to this question.
Oh right! I’m gonna edit. Thx.
Try searching here: https://lemmyverse.net/communities Keep in mind this lemmy is no longer federated with lemmy.ml or lemmy.world You may need a backup/second home lemmy to subscribe to them.
I am in the same boat. Installing…Dog help me.
I’m having trouble finding communities in lemmy.ml here (is one of the unblocked instances). I can find them from another lemmy instance, just not here. How often are the communities updated? I’m hoping to make beehaw my ‘home’ instance.
In response to your postscript: You can search here for other communities: https://browse.feddit.de and there may be other search, please let me know if you find them. That one is a bit slow to update. I used that to determine that there was no community yet for a topic. So I tried to get a feel for which lemmy might be best for it and created it there. The one I created was Trader Joe’s Unofficial You can see I even added a note in the description about it being my first and trying to add a better/more mod.
TL;DR See if your community interest already exists anywhere, and if not, go create it!
Wait…the comment seems to indicate that the primary mod did not want to go dark, and an inactive mod came in and made it go dark. I understand being upset…but this does not seem like anything a Reddit admin would do?
So far so good. This is actually my first comment.
I had a hard time wrapping my head around how the federation worked. But figured out I just search here in communities only with my keywords. If I don’t get a result here and https://browse.feddit.de then it means no community has yet been created anywhere.
I decided to make Beehaw my ‘home’ server after discovering it actually had an ‘interview’ that I jived with and a moderated/structured set of communities. As my first deeper ‘test’ of lemmy I have created my first community at lemmy.world since it seemed like the place for my random community about a grocery store chain: !traderjoes@lemmy.world
If I was making a specific tech/software related community I likely would have chosen lemmy.ml as that’s where many other tech/software related projects have landed so far. But lemmy.world seemed the better choice for random.
Does this seem relatively close to be how I should handle things in the lemmyverse?
Edit: It would be nice if there was a user setting to open external links in new tabs.
Doh! I forgot the /c/, correcting.
