Hello,
I have subscribed to a few communities already (some on other instances, like lemmy.ml ou beehaw), but some communities cannot be accessed from here, even tough other communities from the same instance are available.
For example, I cannot access [email protected] from here, even though I can access other communities from lemmy.ml here, and the community is accessible from other instances (like feddit.de: https://feddit.de/c/[email protected]). I only get a 404 error: https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]
Is there any reason why? Maybe related to load issues @lemmy.ml?
I find that searching by community string never actually returns any results. It’s essential to make the search in order to add the community to the communities list, but you don’t find anything useful that way.
But AFTER doing the community string search, I can do a keyword search and it works. So each of these searches is from the
communitiespage on the instance where you have your account…motogp, get no results because the community isn’t known to your local instance.!motogp@lemmy.world, get no results… because… I dunno. Because we can’t have nice things is why.motogpagain and it works because now the community is known to your instance.I though the blahaj post was giving this same advice, but their steps are subtly different. Try the above if the sticky posts advice doesn’t get it done for you.
I found that just searching for the URL works as well (as long as type is set to all)
Yeah, I just learned that today when making this comment. For the longest time it never occurred to me to set it to
all… since… like… I’m definitely searching for a community. But lemmy disagrees I guess.yeah it took me a while to even register that those buttons were important lol. Hopefully it can get polished up a bit
