Reddit refugees, has your favorite sub migrated already? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I, being someone who works with computers, have had some luck with most of my favorite subs being here already.

Despite that, some of my hobby ones still aren't here. NFL exists, but it's the same as nothing so far. Soccer I couldn't find at first, maybe today it already does? Also, no sign of fantasy football.

I also followed a bunch of History subs, but looks like most people in Lemmy only care about science and technology.

Tell us, what is missing for you?

Once you find something you like there, how do you subscribe?

Yeah its all a bit confusing.

Say, you find an entry in https://beehaw.org/c/creative that you like and you'd like to subscribe to the whole community.

IF someone in your home instance (lemmy.ml) has already added ...creative, you can just search for it in "communities" and you can then open and subscribe on the righthand side.

IF however you are the first in your home instance to access it, then you have to add it manually.

I do the following (someone more experience may enlighten us if there's a better way):

Use https://browse.feddit.de/ to find the community or just copy the link of the main community (in this case https://beehaw.org/c/creative)
Be logged in in your homeinstance, click on the magnifying glass top right to search and then paste the link and search. The community will show up as a link and you can go there and subscribe.

Edited for some clarity.

This is probably the most succinct explanation of how to add comms that are outside of your home instance that I've come across, good stuff!

You should see if you can get this pinned somewhere more visible I think it'd help a lot of Reddit refugees
