How to avoid duplicate communities?
Hey I'm a refugee from Reddit & I'd like to make a community or two that I was a part of on Reddit if they don't already exist on lemmy, in particular the r/GoogleCloud community.
Is there an easy way to search across all servers to see if these communities exist before I create one?
You're viewing a single thread.
Based on my understanding you should be able to search for communities via https://browse.feddit.de/ It'll show communities from all federated servers.
Pardon the noop question ~ but how do I join a community on a different server?
Assuming that the name of the community is
!community@otherinstanceNormal way
- Open lemm.ee and click the search icon
- Paste the community link in the search bar and hit enter. It should appear in the search list
- Click the community link. The community page should open
- Click Subscribe
Hacker way
- Open a new tab in your browser and in the URL bar, type
lemm.ee/c/community@otherinstance - Click Subscribe
Have a look at the "How do I join a community from another instance?" section in our Guide/FAQ. Let me know if that doesn't clear it up!
