Hi all,

Apologies for the spotty availability over the past 12 hours - I have migrated the site to a new host, dedicated to just Lemmy.

The new host has more memory and better network bandwidth, so hopefully this will see us through without any issues.

In order to search and subscribe to other Lemmy instances that aren't already in our list, you will need to be signed into an account.

Terminology

• Instance: Home Server. Your account has to live somewhere. The home server is the one you log into and shows you your feed. Somewhat like homeroom in school.
• Community: Subreddit
• Federation: It means different home servers interact and share content with each other.

I am new to Hobart and Tasmania (moved down last year - don't hold it against me) and this is my first Dark mofo.

Way too late for the ticketed stuff - but I wouldn't know what it all was anyway.

What is some of the good public stuff that can be seen?

To subscribe to a remote community, first find that community via Lemmy Community Broswer and click on symbol to copy the link.

On TasLem, click on the search magnifying glass and paste the URL you copied into the search field. Click search.

At the moment nothing will appear in the search results (possibly a Lemmy bug), but after about 10 seconds if you click back on "Communities" and select "All" - you should see the new community in the list.

From there you can click on "subscribe" to do that, or the name of the community to view it.
