I’m trying to subscribe to lemmy.ml communities on sh.itjust.works.
For example, if I search for yuzu on sh.itjust.works, it doesn’t give me anything, even though my filter is in all and not local. If I do the same search on lemmy.ml it gives me the Switch yuzu emulator (https://lemmy.ml/c/yuzu). I don’t understand, it seems to me that since lemmy is federated, you can subscribe to any instance and have access to all the content, no maybe I’m wrong, but I find it strange.
(and it’s not just yuzu it’s several other communities.)
Thanks for your help.
Take the full URL of the community you’re looking for, and paste it into the search bar of sh.itjust.works while you’re logged in. https://lemmy.ml/c/yuzu (you can also search [email protected])
It might say “no results” but go back to the community page and check again. Then subscribe.
At least one user on your instance has to have searched for it before. The devs are working on making this happen more automatically, but that’s how it is right now. Just one person on your entire instance has to do this one time, then it should work for everyone else there.
And note, comments and older posts won’t come over immediately but you should start seeing all new posts and comments.
[email protected] in the search bar should bring it up
nothing
See my comment. It should work now, as I said above it might say “no results” the first time. Just means you’re the first user on your instance to search for it :)
Thanks, it works.
I know you’re sorted, but check out this post for more context, and maybe save it in case you need to look up the info again: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/61827
