What are some communities you've subscribed to, even though there are only a handful of posts, hoping that it will one day be active?

I recently ran into the problem where I signed up on a different federation or whatever and had to jump through a few hoops to get subscribed to the community I wanted.

I get that that's part of the allure of Lemmy but it's also a stumbling block. I can't just go to any community and sign up at the click of a button. Hopefully there's a workaround for this soon or I imagine a lot of lazy users like myself will just look elsewehere.

The apps I’ve tried thus far on iOS make this process much easier than the web clients. I think with a little refinement, most users could have a “reddit-esque” experience without fully knowing how the federation works under the hood.

Which apps? I can only find ones in beta

I hate it when the community I want to join is spread across like five different instances with varying levels of activity and user count. Wish we could just Pick one and make it The One community.

I understand the desire for that, but tbh I'd be just as happy with something like Reddit's multi-reddits to round up multiple similar communities in one feed. I appreciate the subtle differences that communities around the same topic can have simply by slight variations in their focuses.

Me too!

But this was your chance to list some of the lesser known ones that you, in particular, are interested in.

[–] ZeroDrek 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Fair enough. I guess the ones I’m most into right now are:

I also wish there was a Portland Timbers community here.

i too wish there was a ptfc group here. i'm still going back to the timbers subreddit for my banter.

I usually hang out on the discord.
