Also make sure to click on the first part of the link (before the /c/), for some reason clicking the second part will still try to fetch it on your instance rather than the one I linked

Maybe it’s blocked by Lemmy.ml ?

Should work: https://lemmy.zip/c/jrpg@lemmy.zip

Nowadays I just recommend Piefed.zip.

If someone wants a regional instance they usually figure it out by themselves, also the Piefed instance chooser can help and has a latency indicator: https://piefed.social/post/1337079

For the nationale behind, here’s a list from a post on !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com that’s a few months old https://lemmy.zip/c/fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com?dataType=Post&pageCursor=P2d1f586&sort=NewComments

• Lemmy.world is too big
• sh.itjust.works names contains “shit”, which can deter users
• lemmy.ca is Canadian-centric
• feddit.org, is German-centric, but technically English speaking too
• dbzer0 is focus centric
• programming.dev is topic-centric
• blahaj is queer-focused
• discuss.tchncs.de has a difficult name
• lemmy.sdf.org does not defederate anyone
• beehaw defederates LW and SJW
• infosec.pub is topic-centric
• aussie.zone is country-centric
• midwest.social is region-centric and admin can power trip at times (https://sopuli.xyz/post/20038037)

!languagelearning@sopuli.xyz ?

Good luck !

Admins usually don’t want to allow direct registrations without email validation as it makes it too easy for spammers

Provider doesn’t really have any downside

Cool idea !

Good luck, but creating a community is much more difficult than reusing an existing one.

Maybe try to reach out to @sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works to see if they would consider lowering the rules?

I raised the issue to @wjs018@piefed.social a few days ago, he’s going to work on this so that Piefed parses the links created by Lemmy autocompletion correctly

It is indeed not ideal that Lemmy autocompletion generates improper links, but it’s where the majority of the Fediverse users are, and most of them are going to keep using that feature, it’s too convenient not to

Speaking about Inktober, there’s this community !inktober@sh.itjust.works

Crossposted to !newcommunities@lemmy.world , ironic but it has more subscribers and Piefed parses that community to fetch new communities: https://chat.piefed.social/#narrow/channel/4-developers/topic/Lemmyverse.20Community.20Discovery/near/4966

Consider joining !fediverse@piefed.social

We have two fediverse communities already, we don’t really need three :)

Good luck!

Then again I suppose if you have to do that then that defeats the purpose of the term, doesn’t it.

Yes, that’s the biggest issue.

Here is a 6 months old thread with other suggestions, some sound completely silly, some of them were nice: https://lemmy.zip/post/33451610

Yes, regularly on https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/ , when threads are posted on !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Reddit users are already familiar with the Threadiverse UI, and usually are reluctant to use anything “Fediverse” due to the issues with content discovery on Mastodon.

Showing them that there is a subpart of the Fediverse that have a similar UI to Reddit and solves most of the content discovery issues of Mastodon can help to make them give the platforms a try.

If you talk to someone who’s not here about the “Threadiverse” they are instantly going to think it’s related to Meta’s Threads.

I like the name I use it a lot, don’t get me wrong, but that’s still an issue.

You can also follow people on Mbin too, and that’s good, but still at the moment, none of the most active Threadiverse software (Lemmy and Piefed) allow their users to.

Those limits might be “artificial”, but on the other hand, most of the userbase here has been around for more than 2 years now, and they still can’t follow other users.
