Boost dev just reserved a lemmy community also. I edited my post with the links.

/c/communityname@instance.tld

Just type it like that and if you click it you stay in your instance

He might add kbin support. A lot of people have been requesting it.

There is also this: !ArtemisApp@kbin.social

When I search for it in the kbin subreddit, it looks like the post is deleted. Do you have a link? Very interested

They are aware. I think it's a bug in BE 0.17.4

It is very frustrating. We were growing quite fast until this happened.

Since this has been merged, does that mean it should be fixed already? Because I am still having the issue. Or does it mean it is coming in the next update. If so, when is that expected to roll out?

Sorry for so may questions, I am just having issues running my community as current members cannot access it, and new potential members cannot find it on browse.feddit.de or lemmyverse.net.

Thanks!

I made this community to provide a place for Playstation players to hang out, socialize, post links, and otherwise do what people do on a link aggregator website.

When I came to Lemmy I noticed that there was no Playstation community, and that c/Playstation was seemingly defunct. While this community is called PS5, I'm not going to limit discussion to a narrow focus for now. So anything PSX, PS2, PS3, PS4, PSP, PS Vita, Remote Play (Official or Chiaki), or even Emulation is all game. As Lemmy communities mature, I may decide to narrow the focus, but for now consider anything Playstation related good to go!

Anyway, lets all build a great and kind community! Head over to the sidebar for more info. I will likely add more links and resources as time goes on.

When I fill in all the info and then click 'create' nothing happens. Is there something I'm missing?

 

I see on the project website that the apps are coming soon, but I also see a link for development versions that won't expand for me. Is the link broken or is it just placeholder for now? What kind of timeline are we looking at before an application will be available? Will there be an alpha or beta we can sign up for?

I'm not trying to sound impatient at all. I know these things take time. Just curious.

 

Just don't ask me if there is an app yet

 

I've seen lots of discussion on reddit of users trying to get others to join Lemmy and the prevailing reply is that it is too difficult to navigate and comprehend. Having to answer multiple questions and wait for manual verification is combersome and is limiting growth at a time when nothing should be standing in Lemmy's way. Combine this with server/instance selection analysis paralysis, and you get my point.

The linked mastodon blog post sums up my thoughts, but the TLDR is essentially this:

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Don't let dreams of decentralization interfere with the greater goal of achieving the network effect.

We should all be telling people to go to lemmy.ml and sign up. The devs should be too, and they should rethink/remove the questions and waiting period. Hell, just put a captcha. Discussions about servers and analogies to email as an example of federated service we all already use is a waste of breath. We shouldn't have barriers to entry.

Thoughts?

EDIT: I've just found kbin.social and find it has superior signup options. It's just: make an account (email/password), or sign up with Google or Apple. No server talk. Upside is the layout is nice and it acts as a Lemmy instance (threads) as well as a mastodon instance (microblogging). Only downside currently is that their android/iOS app is in development and isn't ready yet, so desktop only.

I think this might be the better recommendation for newbies at the moment.

 

I like some communities easily accessible but I don't necessarily want them on my main feed.

An example is politics, I like to check in every now and again but I don't like seeing it all the time as it gets my mood down. And I'd prefer not to have to search for it when I want it.

Reddit Sync (my preferred reddit app) has this feature and I think it would be a great addition.
