How do I access nsfw communities?
How do I access nsfw communities?
I try searching keywords and nothing comes up. I'm using Jerboa for Lenny.
You're viewing a single thread.
There are apparently some like [email protected], but they are hard to find since they probably aren’t visible in your home instance, and they don’t show up in the lemmy community browser. You also can’t find them on the instance they are hosted on since you need to be logged in to see nsfw communities.
and they don’t show up in the lemmy community browser
Communities are not visible to other instances until some user manually adds them.
If you are on one instance and you have the link for a community of another instance, that does show in the first, just copy the entire url of the unknown community, paste it in the search field of the instance that doesn't know about it and search for it. It will NOT show up the result, but you can then delete the url and search again by its name. You will see the community now appear because you just indexed it.
I just learned this today, so I am going to spread it wherever possible.
Tysm! I was able to subscribe to it because of you.
No worries. Every single tip to make the experience better for people here, I am trying to spread it and it would probably help everyone if people did it as well.
You can let others know about this and also you can index more communities on your own. I know I've been doing it to connect more communities.
I just learned that earlier today. I made a post about it here: https://mander.xyz/post/660612
I'm with ya though. It's all new to us and the word needs to be spread. ✊
I was referring to the community browser which lets you see all available communities. But yeah you won’t see them in your home instance until they are specifically searched.
The awkward thing about this is that as soon as someone does subscribe to that community, it's visible to everyone in the community browser. So if you suddenly see some weird shit start appearing, you've got to look around and wonder who it was that caused that to appear...
Hey, can you please help me out?
I have a community c/[email protected] but I can't get it to show up outside my home instance even following steps :(
My instance is lemmy.world. I'm new to this Federal system, is there a way for me to subscribe to nsfw communities and see them?
