Some people have been asking which communities they should join first, so I posted some remote communities you can subscribe to on the sidebar on the homepage :)
Tech → !technology@beehaw.org
News → !news@beehaw.org
Gaming → !gaming@beehaw.org
Memes → !memes@sopuli.xyz
Privacy → !privacy@lemmy.ca
FOSS → !foss@beehaw.org

Nature → !greenspace@beehaw.org

There's also this universal community search tool you can try using. If you find a community, just copy its URL and paste it in /search to subscribe to it here. This just goes to show that while there might not be many local communities here on lemmy.one yet, the beauty of the fediverse means that doesn't matter!
I'm here from reddit, and thank you for these recommendations. Time for my neuroplasticity to kick in so I can learn how all this works.
Also here from Reddit. Lemmy actually feels like how Reddit *used *to feel in its early years, i.e. fresh community with fresh ideas. Love it!
Does anyone know of any communities for pigeons or capybaras (or tbh any other weird-but-cute critters)?
Edit: adding some as I find them:
- https://lemmy.world/c/opossums
- https://possumpat.io/c/possums
I was going down the universal search tool list, subscribing to the communities that I was interested in, and I ran into an issue trying to sub to some of the communities. Thankfully I was able to quickly find the answer - anything that is on the block list under https://lemmy.one/instances you are not able to subscribe to from this instance.
Does anyone know if you can hide posts in Jerboa? This post and a lemmy.one welcome post are pinned at the top of my feeds, and they take up a lot of room visually. I'd also like to hide posts I've already seen, as on smaller communities I only want to see the occasional new posts, not see the same post from 3 days ago every time.
Just wanted to say, thanks for hosting this instance! I'm a reddit refuge and this Lemmy instance has been really straightforward on how to get started.

Ya'll gonna have to nerd out with me now. 😎
Should this be edited to remove Beehaw now that they have de-federated?
They are only de-federated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works
Lemmy.one is still federated with those two and beehaw.org
That means it has no impact on us at all, afaik. I'm no pro but I just made a new account, after having a beehaw one, on this instance specifically to see if I could still see everything on all three, and I can.
AFAIK beehaw defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. Not lemmy.one at the moment
If anyone else is missing Breaddit as much as I, [!bread] (!bread@lemmy.ml) (I think, bear with me as it's my first time trying to link to a community) seems like a good place to start.
Is this link better? https://lemmy.ml/c/bread
If you link it like this: Bread
it will be load that community on the user's own instance, so they can just hit subscribe instead of having to search for it back on their own instance.
[Bread](/c/bread@lemmy.ml)
