I'm looking for a community focusing on outdoor sports specifically camping and backpacking. But also skiing and snowboarding if y'all know of any!

I’m not seeing a camping community on the cross-instance community browser but it looks like there’s one backpacking and several “outdoors” aka outdoor recreation communities as potential places to post/subscribe to, in case Beehaw doesn’t make its own.

Hey awesome thanks I didn't know about the cross instance searching. When I try to subscribe to them it says I'm not signed in, do I have to make another account on those instances??

Don't follow the link directly.

  • Click on 'Communities' at the top of your page.
  • In the search bar, enter the full community url, i.e. https://lemmy.ml/c/thruhiking.
  • Click 'Search'. Most likely nothing will happen immediately.

When you clicked Search, your instance started fetching posts from the thruhiking community on the lemmy[.]ml instance and storing it on your beehaw[.]org instance. Give it a second, then click search again. You should now see the community in the results.

Click it, and you'll go to the community through your instance, keeping you logged in and able to subscribe and all that stuff.

This process only has to happen if you're the first person on your instance to search for that particular community.
