Dumb question time. I signed up via lemmy.world & can subscribe to communities on other instances. Im trying to sub to communities on lemdro.id but see the error message “This thread was retrieved via lemdro.id. You are not logged in there”
The only place i can find to log in is on my search page which shows the lemmy.world instance i signed up to. Whilst adding lemdro.id instance & I’m requested to sign in to it but my login credentials are refused.
Surely we don’t need multiple log ins for multiple instances? Or is it because lemdro.id is very new & isn’t yet federated to lemmy.world (although I can see lemdro.id & its communities just fine).
Thanks in advance for holding a newbies hand.
Thanks for the replies. I’m using Liftoff rather than browser (I already have violentmonkey installed for various scripts so thanks for the heads up for that one).
It gets more confusing to me. Clicking the link https://lemmy.world/c/android@lemdro.id took me straight there & I could subscribe …but searching for that URL in Liftoff didn’t work. And searching for another lemdro.id community also returns nothing: https://lemmy.world/c/samsung@lemdro.id.
Logging in on PC browser & using Lemmy search returned no results. The only way I could subscribe to https://lemmy.world/c/samsung@lemdro.id was to sign in to lemmy.world on PC then directly input that url in another tab & subscribe.
The communities state to use the following format from your home instance to search & subscribe example !apple@lemdro.id
Searching in this format using Liftoff or PC browser gives no results (search = Communities, All. Community = All. Search term = !android@lemdro.id). The only way I can do it is as above, going directly to the URL in a browser.
Frustrating as hell. I know the infrastructure is struggling under the influx of new users but the lack of working search & the absolute ball ache to subscribe will put off so many reddit refugees
Cheers. All other suggestions showing me the error of my ways are very welcome
