Is there a reason we’re not Federated with https://lemmit.online?
I’d like to subscribe to the Home Assistant community there.
You must log in or # to comment.
It doesn’t look like your instance is defederated from anyone at all
Maybe I’m confused then. I entered
!homeassistant@lemmit.onlinein the search field, but no results were found.It doesn’t show up in my instance either. Sometimes it takes a little bit, but I also noticed lemmit.online has an older version of Lemmy, so not sure if that can make a difference
I just realized that entire instance is just a bot crossposting posts from reddit via a bot. I got excited looking at the post count, but didn’t realize that the actual user engagement is next to nothing. So, I don’t want to subscribe after all!
Another point, I think with the way federation happens, searching from your instance doesn’t always work. I might be wrong, but I believe going directly to /c(or m)/community@instance and subscribing will actually link things up for searching.
lol I was trying on my end. Good to be able to stop :D
Thank you kindly for your efforts anyway!
What has been working for me is putting the URL of the community I am looking for into the search bar instead of the name starting with !. It’s worked with almost everything today, though sometimes it takes a minute to show up in search results.
