My favorite group pre collapse was r/typewriters — how does one go about creating a sub here and having word of it get out?

    You choose an instance where you want to create your community on and click „create community“ on the respective server‘s sidebar

    Someone had created !typewriters@lemmy.cafe and I could swear it had some content, but engagement was low at the time and I think the creator abandoned it. I can move ownership to you if you’re up to it.

      Hi @Illecors — so, I found the group you shared the link to and I made a comment there.

      I do not see the comment.

      Another member of this thread also said they had trouble posting.

      We are new to this.

      Can you guide us regarding how to use the sub before we begin moderating please?

        Hey, I’ve replied to your post. I see it has a few upvotes, which implies that federation is working.

        In regards to another member - he might have trouble initially if nobody from their instance had subscribed to the community, yet. Once subscribed, everything should be fine.

      Thank you — I think I’m still finding my way — but I shall contact you when I’ve got more experience here.

      Well… perhaps we’ll be the first two to start the conversation at Lemmy.

    Sharing my latest acquisition, the keytops feel a bit worn and the platen has seen better days but other than that it types like a dream!

    Edit: photo won’t upload for some reason. Will try again later. It’s a Hermes 2000.

      I too have a Hermes 2000! It’s a little tank!

      Regarding photos. Let me see if I can upload one here after allowing Memmy permission:

      Okay… looks like is sent the image to Imgur and maybe it will show up when I click Submit

        So that kind of worked.

        I’m trying to learn how to use Pixel Fed so I can intentionally link to my photos.

        I’m going to go and see if I can find our new typewriter group to join that party. I’ll post a recent acquisition if I can.
