    There is only one lemmy.ml website. Just like on e-mail, if you deleted an account on lemmy.ml website, that one will be gone. Maybe that’s what you did? You also have an account on lemmy.one I see. Why not use that one now? It’s basically the same anyways, you can join all the communities anyways.

      Okay thanks. In jerboa is there a way to view communities such a as !tf2@lemmy.ml because it doesn’t show up. And when linked it takes me to the lemmy.ml website which doesn’t show anything anymore because of 404 account deleted

        AFAIK, seeing what you have shown that you have tried, the cause might be that your instance lemmy.one does not know that something as a !tf2@lemmy.ml exists. That is because nobody from your instance have ever subscribed to that community, so your instance does not download content from this community to your instance. You would have to be the first one to subscribe to that community in order to start federating that community content to your instance.

        If pasting https://lemmy.ml/c/tf2 in Jerboa community search produces any results, you would have to go through the web interface first. Subscribe there, and only then you will be able to see its content in Jerboa (on your instance).

        This is a mechanism for preventing downloading unnecessary quantities of content from communities nobody on a new instance is interested in and wasting bandwidth and storage space. If someone wants to start federating with a new community, they need to explicitly request to start federating it as describe above.

          Going through the web interface leads to this which is one of the reasons I came here. Is there any sort of way that you know of to help with it?

            I have no idea how can this exact picture happen. Unless you block the IP for lemmy.ml entirely, I do not understand what is happening here. It could be that deleting your account somehow poisoned your browser cache and now everything on lemmy.ml fails to load because of that. You can try to clear it. Otherwise, I am clueless. Sorry :) You can try to create an issue to ask for instruction from more knowledgeable people, if you wish.

        In my experience, you have to find the community on web first (by searching https://lemmy.ml/c/tf2 in this case), before it appears in the app.

        However, someone else (which you might not be seeing, since they are posting from an instance yours blocks) is saying you should search for https://lemmy.one/c/tf2@lemmy.ml and it should work.

        Remote community discovery is definitely something Lemmy still has to improve in terms of UI/UX. @nutomic@lemmy.ml @dessalines@lemmy.ml maybe add some form of dedicated place to search for remote communities? Or maybe make the regular search endpoint understand more community formats, like !name@server, instead of just the URL.

        you can always search for !tf2@lemmy.ml and your server (lemmy.one) in this case will look up if there is a community with that name on a server with that name.

              Ah, wait, you get the deleted error message from your instance as well? Then it seems as a bug to me. That would be worth reporting.
