good bot!

[email protected] - 128 subs, six posts :/

[email protected] - 128 subs, 50 posts :)

[email protected] - 218 / 21

There is [email protected], but only 22 subs, no posts. :(

Give it time - the lemmyverse is still nascent. You may have better luck searching for show specific subs that have made the jump. I just tried Letterkenny, Shoesy, Kids in the hall on Lemmy Explorer and they all exist, but few subs and even fewer posts. https://lemmyverse.net/

Was going to suggest by network, but there’s also no cbc, ctv, crave, bell yet either.

Very interesting, but technically off-topic.

tho, always happy to pin more

Yep. And a bunch of good discovery links pinned to the top there.

Good question - and good answer - worth preserving, but as suggested you’ll likely get better results in suggested communities. (locking).

There aren’t any; I might feel differently if you were a commercial enterprise, but since you’re basically recreating /r/random, I’m ok with it.

Also suggest cross-posting this to [email protected] - did for ya.

You got some good results, but locking.

lemmy.ca

The downside to all this federated business I’m afraid. Usually it works… sometimes it doesn’t.

The home server of askanamerican is infosec.pub and that instance IS on midwest.social’s list of “federated instances” here: https://midwest.social/instances

Usually when you search for a new community/magazine, YOUR instance tries to reach out to the other instance and say “hey, do you have ‘askanamerican’? if so, gimme the info, Ima gonna subscribe to that, and give me the last half dozen posts to start my user(s) off until I catch up.”

Sometimes this fails for whatever reason - misconfiguration, traffic, instance getting slammed with new accounts and flood of new posts, who knows. Infosec.hub isn’t the largest but its not the smallest. Tho, I know the admin @[email protected] runs several other instances of other federated platforms at various infosec domains, they’re rather busy.

I’d recommend trying again in a few hours, or tomorrow.

I checked out of antiwork about the time of their TV/PR fiasco. I know the original intent of the sub was to be opposed to all work (I am oversimplifying), but it was coopted by a larger “lets make work better by calling out bad actors and bad behaviors” movement, which is what attracted me to it. Then the original mods kinda shot the movement in the foot and I stopped checking in.

Is the new /c/antiwork a return to their roots of “all work BAD, down with all work” or the larger “lets make work better” ethos?

Will keep this here for now as its helpful and promotes Threadiverse growth at a crucial time, but locking. Discussions about intrafederated interactions, capabilities or support questions are probably better held over in [email protected] , or [email protected]

For sure. Already seen:

• beehaw defederating from shit.justworks an lemmy.world
• the shuttering of mastodon.lol over the Harry Potter game

Its always lonely to be an early adopter. Just stick with it, help others find their way. :)

Before Digg’s implosion and the first influx, Reddit was a ghost town too.

Heh. yeah. my handwriting in high school and college was so garbage I couldn’t even read my own handwriting, so what good is it really?

I am mildly annoyed that kids these days don’t know this. Then I get annoyed at me for getting annoyed - why would they? we haven’t had a CRT in the house since '04. It would be like getting exasperated because us 80s kids didn’t know how to tap out morse code on the telegraph.

There’ll be some post replies which will be like “there’s two really good community search engines y don’t u use those?” to which I’d reply “well, yeah, but sometimes community names aren’t intuitively obvious until you know. Like /r/trees <- wasn’t really about trees.” Or a fan community might be named something that only a fan would know, like star wars --> /c/moseislycantina. So even tho there are two good search engines for community exploration there’s still value add in this sub methinks.

presto chango shazam!
