I created my own comm on lemmy-ml yesterday and have made a couple posts since then. I wanted to subscribe to it from lemmy-one and join from here for everyday usage and only moderate from lemmy-ml
I’m trying to lower my lemmy-ml usage to help with server stability there.
is there a time delay in getting new comms added to the search here? or maybe some other cause?
I’ve tried finding it through search and I’ve also tried directly putting in the URL I think it would be based on what the URL looks like for other comms. neither worked for me
clearly, I’m missing something here
You must log in or # to comment.
I’ve noticed the same when trying to join some Lemmy-ml communities. Let’s see if someone who knows more about it sees this.
@knighthawk0811 did you try putting the URL in the search box?
no results
you need to search as:
!yourcommunite@lemmy.mlif that doesn’t work, try to access by url:
lemmy.one/c/yourcommunite.mlthank you. searching with the full name worked. not positive that it’s not delayed as it is nearly 24 hours later at this point, but at least i now know the correct way to do it
To federate a new community, you need to search for the exact community using the search bar on lemmy.one, in the form !weightlifting@lemmy.ml, then wait for a few minutes. The next time you look for it, it should be available.
Using the search bar to initiate federation isn’t totally obvious, I think this is one of the things that is planned to be improved in the future.
