Some people have been asking which communities they should join first, so I posted some remote communities you can subscribe to on the sidebar on the homepage :)

Tech → !technology@beehaw.org
News → !news@beehaw.org
Gaming → !gaming@beehaw.org
Memes → !memes@sopuli.xyz
Privacy → !privacy@lemmy.ca
FOSS → !foss@beehaw.org
Monero → !monero@monero.town
Music → !music@beehaw.org
Books → !literature@beehaw.org
LGBT → !lgbtq_plus@beehaw.org
Nature → !greenspace@beehaw.org
Sports → !sports@beehaw.org
Programming → !programming@beehaw.org

Find another cool community? Leave a comment :)

There’s also this universal community search tool you can try using. If you find a community, just copy its URL and paste it in /search to subscribe to it here. This just goes to show that while there might not be many local communities here on lemmy.one yet, the beauty of the fediverse means that doesn’t matter!

    Click the copy icon to the right of the community name on the search tool, then go to https://lemmy.one/search and paste in the URL it copied, and the community should show up. If it doesn’t immediately show up: wait 30 seconds, refresh the search page, and try again, and then it will work.

      Thanks, this worked. I was searching “community@instance.tld” but they showed right up when I used full URL copied from the search tool.

        That should work too, but maybe you need an ! at the beginning, like !community@instance.tld
