If not, how do we get one going? I’m new to Lemmy and /r/FreeGameFindings + /r/AppLab are the top subs that I would want to see recreated here!
I think a single r/GameDeals fill-in would be prudent, as it does cover the free content as well, with a Free only sub down the line when there is enough community.
Maybe [email protected]
Thanks, this is what I was looking for, but dang, why is even just a subscription to the comnunity pending? Subscribing has to be reviewed? This federated stuff is going over my head!
@Dymonika @ImTiagoSousa Pending usually means the server is busy.
Okay, I thought it was being manually reviewed. Interesting.
Well, we’re splitting away from lemmy.world now, right? So what does that mean for our ability to follow this?
When servers de-federate, it just means that users on each respective instance will not be able to connect to the other instance. If you’d like to follow that community, you’ll be able to either by making an account on that instance, or by making one on a separate instance and subscribing to both Beehaw and lemmy.world content(assuming that third instance is federated with both).
Interesting. So what happens if someone has your same username and then the two instances federate?
I would assume one person would be [email protected], and the other would be username@otherinstance
Doesn’t look like freegames can be subscribed or followed outside the lemmy.ml instance :|
If nothing seems to happen after you click Subscribe, refresh the page. It should then say “Subscription Pending”. All you have to do at that point is wait a bit and it will eventually get added to your subs. The lemmy.ml server is being hammered by new users and it’s constantly slowing to a crawl or sporadically going down. Beehaw occasionally has the Subscription Pending issue, too.
Thanks for the tip.
Unfortunately, there was no Subscribe option on the page. I ended up Subscribing through a different instance so all is dandy .
Interesting. Yeah can’t say I’ve tried subscribing from Beehaw to lemmy.ml recently. I’ve mostly been sticking with lemmy.world as my main login server.
https://browse.feddit.de is a good tool to search for things. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, start a community on an instance you like.
How do you start a community?
“Create Community” at the top of your screen if you’re on browser, just make sure you’re on the instance you want your community to be on. I actually don’t know on the apps. I haven’t tried to make one from Jerboa yet.
I think some of the instances wont allow it , since I dont have that button at the top
https://compuverse.uk/c/gamedeals has a bot posting lots of deals.
I’m late to the party but I created [email protected] if you’re still looking (and no, I didn’t know about the lemmy.ml one at the time!)
Sure, I’ll subscribe!
