The way Lemmy works right now is you search a community in your instance for it to then get shown, so you need to first discover that community from elsewhere. With that in mind, what are some growing communities that you discovered that could get some more love?

Here's some of the communities on lemmy.pineapplemachine.com. They're pretty small and quiet at the moment, but maybe they'll grow a little over time:

!dev@lemmy.pineapplemachine.com - For software development
!gamedev@lemmy.pineapplemachine.com - For game development
!compile@lemmy.pineapplemachine.com - For compiler development
!games@lemmy.pineapplemachine.com - For video games
!rns@lemmy.pineapplemachine.com - For Deep Rock Galactic
!fortnight@lemmy.pineapplemachine.com - For Fortnight
!twitch@lemmy.pineapplemachine.com - For twitch.tv
!tech@lemmy.pineapplemachine.com - For general tech stuff
!news@lemmy.pineapplemachine.com - For world news

How do I access these links in Chrome browser to subscribe?

How do I access these links in Chrome browser to subscribe?

If the communities haven't synced to your instance yet, then you can prompt the instance to sync them by copying and pasting them into your instance's search page. Unfortunately lemmy doesn't do this automatically when you visit the URL, at least not yet.

Once the communities are synced, then you should be able to just click the links to visit them and subscribe from there.

I get no results? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, sorry

Hm, that's surprising. I didn't expect mobile Chrome to work like that when copying links. Try copying and pasting the link text instead, e.g. [!news@lemmy.pineapplemachine.com](/c/news@lemmy.pineapplemachine.com)? But be aware that it can take a moment for the sync to happen and anything to show up, as well.
