Yeah you have to be careful. I still venture to guess 80% of folks here have no idea how federation works. Over time I hope things get better but federation is not a newbie friendly thing. People have to realize how it works and the more spread out the better.
!iphone@lemmy.ml is one offspring
I’m worried that all the new large communities are hosted at a single instance, lemmy.ml
Really 3 big players right now.
https://browse.feddit.de/
Lemmy.ml Lemmy.world Beehaw
Those 3 servers are like currently 70% of Lemmy traffic.
Sucks that the UI doesn’t auto-link that for you.
Yeah, but we can help out in the meantime!
iphone@lemmy.ml
And if you need the full url for your instance’s search: https://lemmy.ml/c/iphone
that Is currently an issue on the radar. Lets hope it gets picked up quickly
In the meantime we can try to be helpful when possible!
iphone@lemmy.ml
And if your instance needs to search for the full url still: https://lemmy.ml/c/iphone
is there a way to browse the newest subs in the instance?
Bummer that they’re vetting all new subscribers for an iPhone community. Seems like an aggressive gatekeeping tactic for a benign topic.

I’ve heard in other lemmy communities that the vetting is mostly an attempt at an anti-spammer( and anti-troll) measure.
