Anyone want to help build up a Manchester Lemmy community? (mcr.town)

Anyone in, from or interested in Greater Manchester?

I guess this will be more difficult now that the Reddit sub is back online but I've set up a Manchester group at [email protected] - please feel free to come along, post stuff and have fun!

You might notice it's on a Manchester-based instance too (mcr.town) - feel free to join that too. It's a sibling site to our small (but active enough) Mastodon site (mcr.wtf) which is also open to new people

It's great, isn't it? I was having a conversation with someone on here the other day and didn't realise they were on Mastodon. I'd shared the original post there and replies turned up in Lemmy and vice-versa. It's very cool.

The only thing I wish could be improved is the having to manually go back to your home instance and search for a community on another server. It feels even worse than the same process on Mastodon, which already feels clunky.

I'm on Kbin and was having a conversation with someone on Mastadon on a Lemmy instance! It's magic!

But yeah, I would really like a script of browser plug-in that would add a "subscribe on my home instance" button. Unfortunately I've barely done any programming in the last decade and I always hated web programming so I'm not the right person to make that!
