I’m on lemmy.ml, and I want to subscribe to https://lemmy.world/c/songaweek. There it says to put !songaweek@lemmy.world into search on my instance to subscribe, but it doesn’t turn up anything. Anyone know why this might be, and/or how to work around it?
You can always try constructing the URL manually. I know this sucks, but it might be a workaround.
https://lemmy.ml/c/songaweek@lemmy.world
Long story short you just have to go to lemmy.ml and then add
/c/followed by the community name @ the instance it belongs to.Sometimes on my instance I have to search for it twice and it shows up about 5 seconds after I search the second time.
Yeah, with a community not subscribed to from my home instance, I first get an error message, then I refresh and up pops the community.
