Hey, so, I’m trying to subscribe to a few communities from lemmy.ca such as [email protected] and [email protected]. https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/[email protected] works and loads properly so I was able to subscribe, but these two smaller ones just give an error 404: couldnt_find_community. I can confirm these do exist since going to the lemmy.ca version it loads properly.

I know how fediverse stuff works is that it only caches communities that a member of the community is a part of, same with other instances. So in this case, Im not sure how to get our instance to fetch the data from these smaller communities. It fetches from the larger [email protected], just not the smaller ones. Is there a way to subscribe to it so that I can see the communities load properly? Not sure what exactly to do here.

    Put [email protected] into the search bar and be patient lol Refresh and try again if it doesn’t pop up after a couple minutes

    Sometimes it can take minutes for the backend to fetch the remote community or even fail if the remote server is under load with no error message on your side.
