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’s not working for me unless I switch the dropdown from Communities to All. Maybe a bug?
Sorry for the late response. I think that’s how it has to work, but it’s super weird. We need to add some proper directions in how to subscribe to other communities lol
