Let me give you an example:
-
there is a community on lemmy.world (whereisthisplace) - https://lemmy.world/c/whereisthisplace
-
I go on lemmy.ml and search for
whereisthisplace -
my search parameters are: {Communities} {All} {Top All Time}, {Community: All} {Creator: All}
-
but when I search for (eg.)
AppleI get “[email protected]”
is it because no one is subscribed form this istance?
You must log in or register to comment.
@thirteenthfrog you need to search for the community link, in this case, you should search for “https://lemmy.world/c/whereisthisplace”
I’ve had similar issues, mostly with recently created communities on other instances and I couldn’t quite pin down the conditions causing it. You can include the @instanceurl suffix in the search and sometimes it helps, but the workaround that works best is to access the community you want directly manipulating the URL, so in your example http://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected]
My workflow has been:
- search browse.feddit.de to discover the most popular communities I’d like to join
- type their URL in lemmy.world and subscribe
you would need to search this “[email protected]” in the search box. this will bring that community into lemmy.ml.
