Hey, if you add a ! at the start of those, they will turn into working links for people on version 18.

Not for us Liftoff savages sadly

I like !dota2@lemmy.world. It has a lot of posts with really high quality and there's lots of discussions happening in the comments.

I wish ๐Ÿ˜ญ I'm so alone

[-] t0fr@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Oof sorry to hear that. I used to be so into dota, but I had to put that part of my life behind me

[-] hiroyt@vlemmy.net 7 points 1 year ago

I like !foss@beehaw.org people there have good recommandations.

Oh hey cool, it looks like jerboa fixed those kind of links now! I can subscribe to your recommendations!

[-] briongloid@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Lemmy 0.18 was a good update, made communities easier to link, next is posts/comment native linking.

[-] Erk@cdda.social 3 points 1 year ago

Ah yes some of this is definitely Lemmy rather than jerboa, jerboa just stopped a ctd bug stopping certain links so it became a double whammy of goodness.

[-] briongloid@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Tbh, I felt Jerboa 0.35 was a step back, it no longer applies my profile default sorting on boot.

[-] Erk@cdda.social 3 points 1 year ago

I hadn't noticed that, but almost every change I've found in it is a huge improvement. Like being able to follow community links without a ctd.

[-] klieg2323@lemmy.piperservers.net 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I love that we have !futurama@lemmy.world it's one of my favorite shows and kinda makes the loss of reddit a bit easier on tv memeing.

[-] Evkob@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

I'm completely biased, but !bicycles@lemmy.ca has been very decently active!

[-] t0fr@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Be biased! I've already joined and have been getting back into cycling this year

[-] krdo@lmmy.net 3 points 1 year ago
[-] t0fr@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Another star trek fan I see. That community is really kicking off out of everything I've seen

Ehh, old hold off judgment for now. There are some serious concerns about over moderation. I was banned recently for trying to discuss community standards when after making a post from a clickbaity site. Took out someone else too who agreed with me on a different community

[-] t0fr@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Really? The Star Trek community? I can't say I've seen any of that

[-] Sorghum@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

It's the same mods that ran r/startrek. They're notorious for being ban happy especially if you have anything negative to say about nutrek. They also got other alternative trek subreddits banned for people that didn't want to deal with their moderation. Of all the things I hope to leave over in Reddit are toxic power mods and r/startrek mods are a prime example.

I wouldn't put it past them to defederating any other instance that has a trek community negative towards startrek.website.

Yep! Mods have done a good job burying it. Check the modlog, you'll be able to see any moderator action an reasoning for communities you are subscribed to (or maybe that your instance federated to, I'm not exactly sure).

I tried to do a level headed take over at !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world encompassing my experience. I'm sure it came across as whiny to some people. We've all got preconceptions of posts calling out mods for overreach so I understand

[-] MonkeyJunk@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Nice, I do like retro gaming and trek!

[-] TeaHands@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It wouldn't be a replacement for that other site without:

(those last two have posts with megalists of related communities too, for gamedev and crafts respectively, check them out if you're interested in either topic)

[-] t0fr@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Just thought I'd add that I've found startrek@startrek.website to be great and quite active

It's run by the r/startrek and r/daystrominstitute mods.

Not necessarily a good thing...

[-] dpunked@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I really like our little boardgame community over at !boardgames@feddit.de

(Of course I am biased)

[-] t0fr@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

You can be biased and promote. I'm already subbed there and have participated. Board games have been so much fun. I need to have people over to play some Wingspan again. And to play some of the Unstable Unicorn games that I haven't tried yet

[-] dpunked@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Still need to get my hands on wingspan but. I heard good things!

[-] t0fr@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

It's really fun! I love it. You can always try it out on Tabletop Simulator first

[-] Candelestine@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

https://lemmy.world/c/videoessays

It's not super active yet, but it's growing. Mainly I just like having a place to drop interesting video essays.

[-] t0fr@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Thanks. Yeah I went, joined, and posted a video. That place should really be filled with more of Technology Connections

For the lazy

!videoessays@lemmy.world

Adding an exclamation point at the beginning like that makes it friendly for remote instances. Anyone can click and subscribe no matter if they're on lemmy.world or not!

Just did, thanks for the recommendation!

[-] WhatASave@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Nothing specific but swapping to Lemmy I realized that it was a lot of big subs but not smaller video game subs :( so I guess in general if there are games you play, go be active in those communities!

[-] hoodlem@hoodlem.me 1 points 1 year ago

Try adding an exclamation mark at the beginning to make it linkable like you could /r/subreddit

!frasier@lemmy.world

[-] Zorro@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Yours has the exclamation mark but actually isn't clickable here on jerboa. Weird cause some links are clickable and others aren't

It might be something Jerboa still needs to implement. From what I understand, this was part of the new update to Lemmy. Only servers that have updated have this feature, not all have because they had to temporarily remove captcha. I don't know if it's something to do with jerboa, or the instance you're on but it will eventually become clickable as servers update.

[-] FancyGUI@lemmy.fancywhale.ca 1 points 1 year ago

!selfhosted@lemmy.world is a favorite
