Originally I had a lemmy.ml account but I decided to make a new account on a new instance. The problem is that on sopuli.xyz, I can’t find some existing communities.
What is the reason for this?
You must log in or register to comment.
You need to format it correctly if it’s the first time someone searches for that community in that instance.
!community@instance.com Or the direct link: https://instance.com/c/community
Unfortunately when I have tried that it couldn’t find the community. In my case I used this link: https://sopuli.xyz/c/2visegrad4you and got a “404: couldnt_find_community” error. Using the first case I just got redirected onto the instance’s main page and wants to login with the “!2visegrad4you” as username.
I thought you said the community was in lemmy.ml
“!2visegrad4you” as username.
This is not an username, the exclamation at the start means is a community.
If the community is hosted in lemmy.ml you need to search for !lemmy_support@lemmy.mlOh sorry yeah I meant that 2visegrad4you is in lemmy.ml. I absolutely misinterpreted your answer, my bad. Yeah that’s why I mentioned that the community was treated as an username.
I just needed to logout of my lemmy.ml account, and typing “!2visegrad4you@lemmy.ml” into the search field, with the search type “All”
Thank you for the help! :D
Posting until someone comes along with a more in depth answer but essentially your instance won’t link to others until a user has searched for it. If you joined a smaller community chances are no one from sopuli is currently subscribed to that community.
I’m having trouble doing this on mobile (probably given the slowdowns) but you’re supposed to be able to search using the !community@instsance string and it will pop up after a little bit. Add it and future users from sopuli will see it in all.
