I see many communities that got started in the last ten days. Sadly, some that I’m most interested in are not that active. Some are not active at all.

What are you doing to help your community? How do you go from lurking to contributing? Spreading the word?

Also, what’s for breakfast?

                Still not visible from sh.itjust.works, only from lemmy.world (I tried changing the url to my instance and it goes to a 404)

                  Dammit. What I did was:

                  Instead, try going https://lemmy.world/search and entering the full URL for the community ( https://kbin.social/m/LucidDreaming ). It’ll spin for a little longer than usual but it should show up in the search results.

                  I tried the equivalent at sh.itjust.works but I only find comments. On lemmy.world the link for the community was on the second page, but on sh.itjust.works there’s nothing on the second page (which is weird since there is a next button that takes me to “no results”). Hmm. Does you instance have a support thread where someone might be having similar issues?

      Lemmy? Someone else asked me to add a “link for lemmy”. I’m still new at all this, so I’ll look into it.

        I’m from sh.itjust.works so yeah it’s a lemmy based instance. Seems like kbin federate us but your community (magazine) isn’t visible for us

          I read not long ago here that if one person does a successful search and subscribes to a community/magazine on another instance, then the instance you are on will pull it for others to find easily.

          The federated connections are growing quickly. Stuff just takes time to propagate everywhere.

          I’m not sure how kbin and Lemmy truly interact. I could be wrong. But it was something I read earlier.
