Ima miss /r/perth, but honestly even without the current API nonsense I’ve been uncomfortable with reddit’s trajectory for a while.

I’ve noticed that communities from other instances don’t show up unless someone is already tracking them.
It happened here at lemmy.perthchat.org when I was trying to find !selfhosted!selfhosted@lemmy.ml I think. Search for it (with ‘all’ selected), didn’t show up, entered lemmy.perthchat.org/c/selfhosted@lemmy.ml in the url bar, subscribed, went back to search again and there it was.
Someone needs to:
It doesn’t really work for dead instances where not much activity happens because the subscription only works as new activity happens, it doesn’t backfill comments, only posts.
