I’ve been using Lemmy for almost a week and I’m loving it. But some aspects are still a bit obscure to me. For instance : I have my account on lemmy.ml. I used https://browse.feddit.de/ to find some communities. I want to subscribe to https://reddthat.com/c/rts.

What’s the easiest way to do so ? It looks like the search function only shows communities from the instance I’m signed on.

Edit: apparently, the servers are experiencing a little slowdown. Typing !rts@reddthat.com is the search field returned nothing at first but finally worked at some random moment after spamming ':D

      Yes, when you are the first to look up a community from another instance, it can take a minute for the server to go get that new community. I just leave the search in a tab for a bit and come back to refresh it in 30 seconds or so.

      Its a little tricky.

      write !rts@reddthat.com

      That’s what I was doing bit it didn’t work. Now it’s working, and I believe my instance was having temporary issues. Thanks for your answer :)
