Just wanted to shout out the creators of the community and the whole community! Thank you :)
Hey, also emigrated from r/formula1 Looking forward to getting to grips with this place
I hope it grows. From what I can see /r/formula1 isn’t planning on moving anywhere
Just read the news about Mulsanne and Jeppe. Saw what Reddit was doing to other communities, and braced myself for when it came home. So, off to a new platform until this one gets ruined, then wash, rinse, and repeat.
Just FYI. There are several F1 communities across instances, so be sure not to limit yourself to only one.
Any other you can recommend, made my account on here today and as of yet I’m not very familiar with how all of this works
I believe there is a !formula1@lemmy.ml. If you hit Communities and filter by All, then search Formula, you’ll find it!
Though, you may notice there is an issue with hitting subscribe, it might just say that you’re subscription is pending due to heavy traffic and I read somewhere that it is a visual bug. However, even while pending it will show up in your subscribed list and content!
One of the upcoming Lemmy updates (I guess 0.19 or so) will allow linking communities on two or more instances. I’m not really interested in a pending status most other communities don’t have.
Does that mean that if am on the .world instance i can join the other formula1 communities on the other instances like .ee etc. ?
Precisely.
Nice!
Echoing a big thanks to everyone here. I’ve been on other platforms since the mid 2000s, and this is the first time in a very long time that I’ve felt that this is the start (obviously not downplaying the efforts of users of Lemmy before…things…happened elsewhere) of something special. That being said, this is not a “mission accomplished” moment - we all have to work together to keep this going. A lot of us are recently coming from a platform where the sheer mass of thousands of users online simultaneously was keeping a reasonable flow of content coming. Keep posting first and third party content, keep asking questions, keep fomenting discussion, and keep being nice and welcoming!
Hey all, incoming from Reddit as well. Still not sure how this works. Are there multiple “f1” communities on Lemmy? As in, each instance has it’s own community? If so, this is going to be a hard pill for many to swallow I think :(
E.g. if lemmy.world/c/formula1 is something else than lemmy.ml/c/formula1?
if you find the answer on this, please tell me, I’m lost but love it at the same time, hahah
I think the lemmy.ml community is distinct. I suspect it will be a case of a handful of communities opening up on different servers, and over time one (or a couple) will “win”.
Hmm, unfortunate. I’ll just pick the most active one then and hope it get’s cleared up soon. But I don’t think it will be a great experience for most in this way.
E.g. this one on .world has the most subs, but only 1 mod. The one on .ml looks healthier but has less members… hm.

What you’re seeing is the fairly meaningless count of accounts on your instance that subscribe to each community. You have to look at the “home” instance to get accurate total subscriber counts.
- 1.8k for https://lemmy.world/c/formula1
- 3.1k for https://lemmy.ml/c/formula1
Could you explain the difference between .world and .ml? Are they separate sites entirely (like Reddit vs Twitter), different “subreddits”, or something else?
Ah ok, thanks. That settles it, ml it is 👍
