Indeed it worked eventually. I was then able to crosspost to offgrid.
Thanks!
Note that i get the following:
Error!
There was an error on the server. Try refreshing your browser. If that doesn't work, come back at a later time. If the problem persists, you can seek help in the Lemmy support community or Lemmy Matrix room.
The server returned this error: FetchError: invalid json response body at http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/post/list?community_name=offgrid%40slrpnk.net&page=1&limit=20&sort=Active&type_=All. This may be useful for admins and developers to diagnose and fix the error
I suppose (hope) that’s an uncommon glitch. I was at least able to subscribe using the search method.
There is an “offgrid” community on slrpnk.net. I would like to interact with that community from waveform.social. How can I create that community on waveform.social as a federated community, not as a separate new one?
For example, suppose you click: communities » All and then query:
tech -site:lemmy.world
in the world of web searches, that would look for “tech” but it would exclude results on lemmy.world. I see no way to do this. In general, there are certain instances that folks might prefer to avoid. Seeing an imbalanced ocean of links flooding in from a giant node isn’t useful if we are actually looking for less central communities.
Are there #hashtags on lemmy? Can I follow them? Can I group them?
#Lemmy apparently has no concept of hashtags, but when you write a post it’s still a good idea to write hashtags because kbin & mastodon users can search by hashtag and find your post.
