The way Lemmy works right now is you search a community in your instance for it to then get shown, so you need to first discover that community from elsewhere. With that in mind, what are some growing communities that you discovered that could get some more love?
No need to compete! I’m self-hosting my own instance in any case, so I thought I might as well make communities for things I’m interested in. I’ve also subbed to every other gamedev community I’ve come across so far…
It would be really neat if there were a lemmy feature to easily co-promote related communities, maybe even give users an easy way to see them all in one feed.
Oh absolutely, I’ve got so many duplicates in my sub list and kinda love that it doesn’t matter!
Seen some talk around of a potential feature where users can group related communities together for viewing purposes, but I expect it’ll be a while away if it ever happens. In the meantime there’s nothing stopping community mods from making pinned posts or sidebar links or whatever (I assume), but that would rely on every mod of a similar place being as un-power-mad as yourself and reciproacting 😅
Well… Hopefully in the near future the UX for linking to communities can be improved, since right now the way things work makes it a pretty crappy user experience for anyone on an instance that hasn’t synced that community yet.
That’s true. Hoping things even out a bit after the initial rush to make new everything.
