Support / questions about Lemmy.
You need to use the search function in the UI here https://lemmy.ca/search, not type the URL directly in your browser.
I just this for you and now the link works properly.
Just have in mind the first time you search for a community it might take a few seconds and a few refreshes to actually see it.
Thank you! This worked for me ๐
can you try searching for http://lemmy.ml/c/apple in the search field? Maybe your server just hasn't looked this community up yet. I don't think visiting http://lemmy.ca/c/apple@lemmy.ml triggers this.
Yup that was indeed the case. Looks like the server didn't know about that community. Doing a search worked and I've successfully subscribed to it
awesome!
Communities are only pulled onto your instance the first time somebody subscribes to it. If nobody on lemmy.ca has subscribed yet, do this
Yup, works perfectly now. Thank you
check out this post I made yesterday where I have a same/similar problem https://lemmy.one/post/19823
Thank you, searching for the full community URL "https://lemmy.ml/c/apple" here "https://lemmy.ca/search" helped the server discover the community and I was able to subscribe
I feel like there needs to be a pinned guide at the top of this instance explaining all of this stuff to new users.
