First off, Happy Juneteenth!
Next, thanks to everyone who's subscribed to a community here so far. I'm glad that a few folks have already started discovering this place, sharing links, commenting, and posting. As a heads up, I think this place is going to be substantially quieter than communities on Reddit for some time, but my goal isn't to foster a ton of activity, it's to foster a community.
Community List
There's a number of communities on this instance available to join. Mind you, a lot of them are quiet and probably will be if/until more folks join. If you have suggestions for more locations I should add, drop a comment.

Fediverse Tips
Joining a Community
If you're on the https://dmv.social instance, go to https://dmv.social/communities and click "Subscribe" next to any community you're interested in.
If you're on another instance, like https://lemmy.world or https://beehaw.org, this gets a little complicated but bear with me:
- Go to https://dmv.social/communities
- Click the name of the community you want to join
- Go to the sidebar, and find the blurb of text like:
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [[email protected]](/c/[email protected])- Copy the
[[email protected]](/c/[email protected])to your clipboard- Go to your Lemmy instance, and click the Search icon (magnifying glass) in the top right
- Ensure your search type is set to
Alland paste the[[email protected]](/c/[email protected])to the search box and click "Search"- Click the community name in the search results, then click "Subscribe"
If you're on kbin.social: Go to the Search box, and instead of the
[[email protected]](/c/[email protected]), replace the!with a@. For example,[[email protected]](/c/[email protected])will need to be typed into kbin.social as@[email protected]Mobile Apps (Lemmy)
Right now the mobile app scene for Lemmy is still in it's early phases, so don't expect an Apollo/RIF experience right now. That said, here's a few I'm tracking:
- Jerboa - Android - https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa - Google Play Store
- Memmy - iOS - https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy - iOS Testflight Group
- MLem - iOS - https://github.com/buresdv/Mlem - iOS Testflight Group
Need further assistance?
- Join the dmv.social Lemmy Support Discord for assistance. Yes, "I've never heard of this, how do I even make an account on this thing?!" is valid. (note: this is a support only Discord server)
