If you access them like regular links you wont be able to sub to them since your account is in another instance.
That's actually not true! If you format the links like this: /c/news@lemmy.pineapplemachine.com, like I did, then anyone who clicks on them will be brought to the community on the same instance they're viewing the post from. (At least, assuming that the community has been searched for and synced on the instance already.)
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 could see value in having an option to the effect of "I'm the age of majority and I want to see adult content" in user profile options which is turned off by default, and if it's turned off then the UI would show a warning about the nature of the content and the user's current setting in place of posts or communities that have been marked as adult content.
Why can’t a messaging app just send messages? Why does it have to include a social network?!
Silicon Valley corporations don't know the meaning of a stable business model. Infinite growth or bust, only they always seem to find their way around to bust.
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
I think it is annoying that most posts, like this one, are about Lemmy itself. I hope this will change soon.
I can suggest subscribing to a broader range of communities. I think you can expect to find a lot of these kinds of lemmy-related questions and discussions on the most populated communities on the most populated instance, like here, where all the new users are landing.
Since you're registered on feddit.de, you can browse communities and subscribe to them pretty easily here:
Op is obviously trying to create drama which is being shared on Reddit to discourage people from joining Lemmy ( not lemmy.ml the instance). Any new user who would spend a bit of time would figure out that there are many instances to all tastes, if not they could create their own instance.
Honestly, it was my hope to avoid greater drama in the future. I am concerned that there will be a much larger problem down the line if people join lemmy.ml in large numbers due to events on reddit, and only come to understand afterwards what rules they have agreed to by registering their account there. If the rules are not communicated clearly ahead of time, then I think this is likely to make a lot of people very upset, and this could seriously damage the reputation and adoption of lemmy as a whole.
This is why I have attempted to clarify by commenting where others shared a link to my post in /r/lemmy, that this is only about lemmy.ml specifically as opposed to the entire network and, at least where I stand, only about a need to communicate its rules more clearly.
The ones you have really got to watch out for are RTFM and PEBCAK. That's when you know you have a problem.
God forbid you ever catch your child texting about RAII.
One of these days I would very much like to learn how to distill vodka.
Last year I took another step on the fermented foods path and learned how to brew kombucha. I'm progressing slowly, but I'll get to vodka eventually.
There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now. … What do you mean you’ve never been to Alpha Centauri? Oh, for heaven’s sake, mankind, it’s only four light years away, you know. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout. Energize the demolition beams.
What about “Remarks that moderators find inappropriate” is not clear? :p
Do you honestly have to ask? Most people will not interpret this as including orientalism.
What is the purpose of having rules if you do not communicate to people the rules that they are expected to follow?
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.
