A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

!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.
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
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
is there a way to browse the newest subs in the instance?
There are two excellent lists I’ve seen. One is a community/sub browser made by someone on feddit.de, the other is a comprehensive list of reddit subs that have been duplicated in the Fediverse. (That one is surprisingly huge!). I didn’t make note of either of those, but surely someone will be along shortly with the links.
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.
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.
They are? I was able to subscribe immediately. Wonder if it’s just being slow now. A few things I’ve subscribed to the last day or so have been slow to show up on my subscription list and I assumed it was the influx from Rexxit bogging things down a bit.
The approved me pretty quickly, but I got "Subscribe Pending" when I clicked subscribe.
I honestly thought “subscribe pending” was some kind of automated thing. I’ve subscribed to a ton of communities and gotten plenty of pending statuses. If I wait about 5 to 10 seconds, they all change to “subscribed”.
