I’m running a standalone Lemmy instance, but I’m not planning to develop or grow a community on said instance since it’s mostly to practice my infra and DevOps skills. I would, however, like to subscribe to all communities on other instances, for example, on lemmy.world and several others. Is there an easy way, or can I only subscribe to each community individually?
Personally, I’d like a comprehensive list of all subscribable places on here, and on other instances as well. Maybe I’m just too new and don’t currently know how to use the Jerboa app, but eh.
The Jerboa app isn’t amazing for discovering new communities, but the browser version allows you to browse subscribable communities via the hamburger icon at the top right. I used that when I first signed up and subscribed to my first load of communities
Check out https://browse.feddit.de/ , it’s an excellent place to start! I’m not an Android user, so I don’t have any experience with Jerboa, and not sure how it would fit into subscribing processes there.
This is another one I’ve found which I like the UI of https://lemmyverse.net/communities
Thanks for this
It’ll be great when Jerboa could use the links to subscribe in app.
I would really like something like r/all - that’s all I ever really used while on Reddit.
That’s the front page, just select All instead of Local.
No, right now there’s no easy way to do multiple subscriptions at once. Features like that are being discussed heavily right now, but nothing’s been implemented yet.
I was able to do this pretty easy with Mastadon but am struggling with lemmy. Right now it seems I have to make an account for every instance I want to access. Lemmy.world for example shows “You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world” when I try and add nostupidquestions, but I’m not seeing this search field they are talking about, at least on Mlem and I’m bound to mobile right now
I’m on mobile but using lemmy through a browser and could find the community you mentioned.
You press the hamburger menu on the top right, then the magnify lens icon and paste it there, with ‘all’ selected.
You’ll have to use the search option and hope for good results. The fragmentation of communities seems to be a rising topic these days. While it’s good that posts and comments are fragmented, I think personal feeds should be consolidatable.
If you want to see all of them, you can change the setting from “subscribed” to “all”
