I'm trying to subscribe to https://lemmy.world/c/mst3k and https://feddit.de/c/raspberrypi , but I can't seem to subscribe to anything outside of vlemmy, lemmy.ml and beehaw.

I tried using the method in the "How to Join Lemmy" post, and the instructions on the page (ie. copy and paste "!mst3k@lemmy.world" in the search)

Am I doing it wrong, or is some type of server thing? I don't know how any of this works

Yeah it can take some time. When a server/community is first searched the instances need some time to sync, so thats why it wont show up the first time. If you come back in a a few min it will show up. How long it takes depends on how loaded the other instances are so with the massive influx of new people from reddit its taking longer than the usual few seconds. If it still wont work after a bit reply here and ill look into it.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll give it a while and try again.

Also, is there going to be a Questions Megathread for minor questions, or should we just make a new post each time? Cause I have this, uh, friend who's going to be asking a lot of dumb questions over the next few weeks, lol.
