Hello everyone!
Brand new to Lemmy. I saw a post a few days ago talking state specific sub groups here. Tragically, I have lost the link explaining how to find them/how it works.
Can anyone help me out? Alaskans are showing up, and I’d like to make sure that the state specific stuff is put out there someplace other than Reddit.
go to 50501.chat
Press the subscribe button on any community not federated to your instance.
Ah! Thank you!
So if I get this right, you can always link the state community at
!state@50501.chat
. !Alaska@50501.chat, for example.That’s pretty neat. Well done whoever set it up, hopefully it’ll gain traction. :)
Edit: The comment I responded to originally linked the list of communities at 50501.chat, which I thought was useful in its own right. In addition to the state ones, there’s !general@50501.chat for general discussion (not sure how it’ll compliment existing communities), !brainstorm@50501.chat for brainstorming, and !mirror@50501.chat to see whatever is happening over at Reddit.
In the state communities, spaces are replaced by underscores, as in !New_York@50501.chat.
Oh, thank you. Yes, it’s getting a bit of attraction from the mirror mainly.
