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
What are you entering in the search bar?
Either paste the full URL (https://reddthat.com/c/rts) or write !rts@reddthat.com. You might need to click the next & prev buttons a couple of times for it to show up, especially for smaller communities.
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.
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 :)
