Not sure if this is the forums for this. Just requesting to Federate. It looks like you run a busy board so I understand if this is a big ask at the moment.
How do you subscribe to an outside community if it doesn’t show up in the search? I have tried entering the /c/[email protected] into the URL bar but it seems to just 404.
From what I saw, put the
!community@instanceinto search, click search and wait. The search button will stop spinning first, then a few seconds later the community should pop upSearch from your instance for
!community-name@instance-name, click the result then subscribe.For example from your instance search for:
Awesome thanks, it works after trying the version with the
!at the beginning (as opposed to justcommunity-name@instance-name). Next time it happens, I will try with the full URL and see if that works as well.So I think sometimes you need to do both in that order for it to load in another instance (if no one else has done that before for a particular community between the 2 instances):
First search for it using [email protected] then go to the URL manually: https://currentinstance.domain/c/[email protected]
Not the most intuitive but it works for me
Yes, I’ve found for searching on other instances the ! short hand works best.
