“Currently safe” sounds kind of ominous

The problem is that you can't have spaces or capitals. The error message isn't very useful, it tells you to match the requested format but doesn't tell you the format that's being requested.

You're in luck, Memmy is on the App Store now.

They do in some themes. Check out some of the others.

I have it set up so that a bot user is subscribing, not my user. That way the communities are populated with comments and appear in All if I'm interested in the future, but otherwise I wouldn't see them. It makes my instance feel much more alive.

Also, it's worth noting that you can provide a list of the Lemmy instances in the config. You can be as obscure as you like here.

I think the job of seeking out smaller, more niche communities has to be a manual one.

I believe it just means the subscriber count on the instance you’re subscribing to hasn’t been updated.

If you check out lemmit.online you will find bot reposts of reddit threads. Useful until this place gets more content.

You could try using a tool like LCS to flesh out your instance a bit by automatically subscribing to popular communities.

Hey, you can do it by using this notation:

community_id = lemmy.discover_community('[email protected]')

If it helps, this is what you see in the URL when you visit a non-local community.

Have you tried Memmy yet?

Has it been approved in Australia or New Zealand yet?

Memmy is really good. The TestFlight is full but it’s about to get released on the App Store

wefwef is a web app and it’s also really good. You can install it to your home screen and you’d never know it wasn’t a native app.

Mlem has potential but so far it’s got a bit of work to do to catch up to the above two.
