What are some communities you’ve subscribed to, even though there are only a handful of posts, hoping that it will one day be active?

I’m in the middle of linking up all the various crafty communities with a central list, because if you’re a crafter you’re probably interested in more than one of them. So, all of those?
Here’s the list as posted in the leathercrafting community (which you should also check out), we’ve got loads of stuff from crochet to dicemaking. Crafters, assemble!
My hometown community (San Diego). I feel like a bushy-tailed fool, only one doing any posting on Lemmy. But I’m done with R., so off I go…
@BestOf or https://kbin.social/m/Bestof
Disclaimer: I’m the moderator. I would just like a good place in the fediverse where I can see all the best of it.
How do I subscribe to a kbin community from a lemmy account?
Yeah wondering the same. I thought that was the whole point of the fediverse thing
Copy the link into your Lemmy instance’s search. It might take a second to show up as it federates but it should show up.
Tagging @Vorticity@lemmy.world as well in case either of you haven’t got it working yet. Just take the actual URL of the Kbin mag and search for it from your instance, like you would normally search with the ! syntax for a Lemmy community.
So, if I search for https://kbin.social/m/Bestof I get no results. To do this, I went to “Communities” at the top of the page, then searched for that URL. I got this as a result:
That search finds Bestof… as in your post but there’s not “Subscribe” button so how do I add it to my subscribed communities? Sorry for teh ignorant Q, i’m ignorant
Searching for !bestof@kbin.social does the same (iirc the latter is the preferred way to get to a federated instance’s community, but I’m a noob so waht do i know?)
All of them?
I recently ran into the problem where I signed up on a different federation or whatever and had to jump through a few hoops to get subscribed to the community I wanted.
I get that that’s part of the allure of Lemmy but it’s also a stumbling block. I can’t just go to any community and sign up at the click of a button. Hopefully there’s a workaround for this soon or I imagine a lot of lazy users like myself will just look elsewehere.
The apps I’ve tried thus far on iOS make this process much easier than the web clients. I think with a little refinement, most users could have a “reddit-esque” experience without fully knowing how the federation works under the hood.
I wish there was more active participation. I mod one small community with 36 subscribers and only my posts.
Me and my co-mod are trying to get !bluey@lemmy.world going. We get a few posters, but it’s mostly just us for now. But we hold out hope! I imagine it will catch on more eventually.
I’m a Bluey fan. Thanks for setting it up so I don’t have to go back to Reddit.

It’s a fantastic resource on Reddit. Much like how bacon keeps me from going full vegetarian, UK personal finance keeps me on Reddit.
I wish the Super Smash Bros Lemmy was more active. I wanted to message the owner to offer to mod because Sunspider helps with Lemmy.world and has their hands full probably but can’t figure out how to do that on Jerboa.
SSB is one of the first video games I ever played and I’ve been active for over 20 years in this series. The Nintendo Switch does not make it easy to pull my files so it’s a little harder to save and post clips unlike BotW or other games

Disc golf. There’s just seems to be nothing for it yet.
I’ve been trying to get !health@lemmy.world off the ground but it’s not getting much traction.
How come it’s !health and not just health? That seems confusing.
! Is just a way to refer to communities, and @ to users. If you type ! or @ and some characters, you’ll get autofilled results.
So, it is health.
I wish my local city’s community had more people, but I’m afraid they’ll never move over. Oh well, i created it anyway.
I’ve also created a few others that will get buried.
What city? I’m suffering the same fate with San Diego.
