let's spread the love so other instances/communities can be discovered easier

here are a few I recommend:

!retrocomputing@lemmy.sdf.org

!selfhosted@lemmy.world

!steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

!hockey@lemmy.ca

!moviesandtv@lemmy.film

are you on desktop or an app?

I know on desktop you should be able to log into sh.itjust.works, then click on the Communities tab and there will be a search box

if you paste !cats@midwest.social into the search box and hit search it will attempt to federate that community onto sh.itjust.works

it can take a minute to appear but the search result should eventually switch from no results to showing the 'cats' community and you can then view/subscribe right there from your home instance

same applies to any remote community, you need to search for the !community_name@instance_name from your home instances search box

Thanks! I'm on desktop and was successfully finding communities in search, just unable to join them - maybe it's finicky right now. I was finally able to join !main@midwest.social and !gaming@midwest.social under this account, but wasn't able to earlier. Opening any links (including from search) to community sites under the midwest.social instance would sign me out.

Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.
