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.

    I launched lemmy.studio today, with the intent of hosting some music communities (music production, genres, different media, DAWs, etc.).

      Fantastic, I was looking for my /r/ableton replacement. Thanks!

        Feel free to create a community for Ableton there, or if you don’t want to moderate it I’m happy to create it as well!

          I just wrote out two comments that were deleted - Imo you shouldn’t be able to edit or respond to a deleted post if it’s not going to work.

          I made an Ableton group on lemmy.ml a few days ago…doesn’t seem like it’s listed though. I’ll probably just delete it if you’re going to operate a music specific instance

          While I’m really liking Beehaw, one of the caveats is that users cannot create new communities so I may need to just create another account to assist with making new communities. I did just sub to lemmy@lemmy.studio however

        I tried to edit a deleted comment - not sure where it went.

        I made an Ableton user group on lemmy.ml a couple days ago - assuming you’re keeping a music based instance running, I’ll probably just delete it. (Also, my group still doesn’t show up in searches - in the future if I want to get one listed, how would I do that?)

    I’m on feddit.de, which is a German server whith a friendly community. There’s also feddit.it and feddit.dk for Italian or danish people. Would be cool if we see more European feddits, that work together and help each other out.

    And for my favorite communities that aren’t on lemmy.ml

    !gaming on beehaw.org and !ich_iel (which is the German version of me_irl) on feddit.de

      This is really something the proprietary alternatives lack behind. I just digg the option to be able to follow a lemmy community from my mastodon account on my phone.

      The first rule of moretankie196 is you do not talk about the first rule.

      In addition to what @Barbarian@lemmy.ml mentioned about changing the filter and searching, you can link it from your own instance like so:

      https://lemmy.ml/c/gaming@beehaw.org

      You can also grab the URL to any community or post on another instance, return to your own instance, and paste the URL into the search bar. If you’re the first person to ever search for that server it might not find anything at first, but it’ll fetch the data and probably work in a couple minutes.

      Go to Communities at the top, change the filter from “Local” to “All” and search for “Gaming”.

      If you’re the first one who wants to register to a community from this server (not the case here) it’s slightly more complex.

    I quite like that Beecaw doesn’t federate the Tankies.

    I don’t really need a genocide denying group ofauthoritarians in my face first thing in the morning.
