Not sure if this is the best place to post, but I’m trying to figure Lemmy out. Suppose I want to subscribe to !news@beehaw.org using this account… how do I do that?
When I go to the “communities” tab and search for “news”… doesn’t show up there. I can search for “technology” and find results for !technology@beehaw.org. I can go to a URL on this domain for that community; but plopping the word “news” instead of “technology” in that URL gives me a 404.
Do the admins of this instance have to whitelist specific other communities before people here can subscribe to them? Have they done that with “technology” but not “news”? (I understand if that’s the case. Probably want to keep programmers.dev on topic. Just trying to figure out how lemmy works)
I think that’s really probably up to the community, but I like that this instance is aimed at programmers, where Lemmy.ml is kind of a generic one. I think it should probably be made here, even if the other one is more popular. it’s probably good to stay distributed anyway.
Yeah, I agree. This is a killer domain also! Can’t believe it was available.
haha no idea how it was available. pretty penny though. I will go ahead and make a Ruby community as well.
Awesome, thanks! :)
