For example, I was told to search for !catsubs@kbin.social from Lemmy.world in order for Lemmy to fetch it, but searching that using Lemmy search doesn’t work. What am I doing wrong?

    It’s actually pretty straight forward once someone takes the time to explain it. I’ll try.

    These ! Links are supposed to be universal I think. !futurama@lemmy.world

    Then there’s the long URL, https://lemmy.ml/c/futurama@lemmy.world

    First you start with your instance then /c/ just like Reddit did with r/ it means you’re looking for a community, then an @ to target another instance.

    In this example I started at lemmy.ml told it I was looking for a community, then told it where the that community lives in this case lemmy.world
