Noticed a distinct lack of a community for the Bolts, so I went ahead and created one at tampabaylightning@lemmy.world. It got me thinking about other team communities, so I thought it might be helpful to aggregate them all into one post.
EDIT: I fixed the community links, so you should no longer be booted from your instance when clicking them 😉
List of Team-Specific Communities:
- Anaheim Ducks
- Arizona Coyotes
- Boston Bruins
- Buffalo Sabres
- Calgary Flames
- Carolina Hurricanes
- Chicago Blackhawks
- Colorado Avalanche
- Columbus Blue Jackets
- Dallas Stars
- Detroit Red Wings
- Edmonton Oilers
- Florida Panthers
- Los Angeles Kings
- Minnesota Wild

- Seattle Kraken
- St Louis Blues
- Tampa Bay Lightning
- Toronto Maple Leafs

- Winnipeg Jets
If you run or know of any team specific communities, feel free to comment them below and I’ll add them to the list!
Yeah, that’s because the direct link takes you to a different server.
Instead, copy the link, and in your instance click on the search icon up top, and do a search for it there. That’ll give you a link relative to your server/instance. Click that and you’re good.
I think they’re working on it, but this has to get better for Lemmy to take off. There’s so much confusion while trying to share communities.
Yup, it’ll be a great thing for new folks trying out Lemmy when this gets sorted out.
Yep, I’m hoping that post blackout a lot of the people that started new communities will start advertising their community.
I think one thing that could really help would be “official” browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox that turn lemmy links from a instance specific URL to their instance URL automatically so it “just works”
e.g. your browser sees
https://lemmy.world/c/winnipegjetsand it automatically changes it tohttps://{your-defined-instance-domain}/c/winnipegjets@lemmy.worldUntil then, we need to get EVERYONE using the right syntax for links like OP did on this post with his updates: e.g.
[Winnipeg Jets](/c/winnipegjets@lemmy.world)>> Winnipeg JetsThat style link only works if your instance already has someone subscribed to it. For now, only the search box will cause your instance to learn new communities.
