Communities for US States/Territories

New Communities@lemmy.world · 1 year ago

Hi all!

One of the things I miss from Reddit is the various regional/state/etc level communities for discussing things that affect your geographic area.

So, to help counter that, I created the /c/[email protected] community to discuss the goings-on within the state of North Dakota. It is currently devoid of people, as one might expect for a geographically-large but population-tiny state.

However, what might be more useful for you is this list of communities that I’ve put together of all US state/territory/district level communities that I am currently aware of. I plan to keep that list fairly updated for awhile, so if there’s a missing community, do let me know.

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn’t get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn’t actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
