Not sure if this is the best place to post, but I’m trying to figure Lemmy out. Suppose I want to subscribe to !news@beehaw.org using this account… how do I do that?
When I go to the “communities” tab and search for “news”… doesn’t show up there. I can search for “technology” and find results for !technology@beehaw.org. I can go to a URL on this domain for that community; but plopping the word “news” instead of “technology” in that URL gives me a 404.
Do the admins of this instance have to whitelist specific other communities before people here can subscribe to them? Have they done that with “technology” but not “news”? (I understand if that’s the case. Probably want to keep programmers.dev on topic. Just trying to figure out how lemmy works)
It seems to sometimes fail and sometimes work, like there’s a bit more lag in the search when it reaches out to another server. I think I’ve managed to get the hang of it but it was a bit tricky at first.
Now I just have to find some sort of RES-like way to maximize screen real estate usage and I’ll be set! Thanks for setting this community up!
I can modify the CSS. If you think there’s something we should change about it, make a post in meta and we can try it out!
