I keep trying to make one. But when I finish writing the name and details I try hitting create and nothing happens, no comment that i did anything wrong either (im ont the mobile site btw)
Im trying to wrap my head around all this stuff now that RIF is down 😅
Note you can only create a community in the instance you registered in.
But you can subscribe to communities outside? How do I find communities and subscribe to them outside of my instance? I have some, but I think they came during the initial setup.
Yes, and I’ve been told you can be invited to mod communities outside your own instance.
Jerboa has a search button, it’s on the webpage too somewhere.
You are correct about the mod part. I’m a mod on a community outside of lemmy.world. Haven’t noticed any missing features.
Hmm. Is the search showing me all the communities? It seems like the web page lists communities and I can’t figure out how to actually find them on the app. I search communities and only like 10 come up for any given search term. And then 50% of them just perpetually say “pending” after clicking join
The “pending” part is a glitch. You are actually subscribed. I am still pending in a sub I am currently a moderator of.
Are you using jerboa?
You search for a term and it’ll give you communities with that term. There aren’t many at this point. I’ve heard perpetual pending is a bug, you’re subbed.
Interesting, I just assumed there would be more. Especially for some common topics. Yes, I am using Jerboa.
It’s basically a ctrl+f function. There may be more related but unless it’s in the community name it doesn’t show up.
2 weeks ago this place was empty.

Click on the communities tab up top, then make sure you select “All” instead of “local”. You can search or scroll. And subscribe. I would go into the communities and see if they are active. Lots of communities are duplicated across instances but usually one becomes the main community that everyone ends up using.
