Am I doing something wrong? It seems to me that we ought to be able to find communities from other instances by searching for them, but I don’t really see much when I search. Sometimes some communities show up, but it seems to be only communities I’ve visited before or something?
If you could let me know what you’re searching for I can take a closer look, but essentially on the search page the fastest way to locate a community on another server is to type the url of that community (for example, https://mtgzone.com/c/mtg) or it’s Lemmy address (!mtg@mtgzone.com).
I’ll write up a getting started guide as well on this and searching/connecting/interacting with other Lemmy websites.
I think it might be something up with specifically mtgzone.com? I’ve made comments in !legacy@mtgzone.com, but I don’t see them unless I specifically come through my “home” instance of lemmy.ml? Unless I’m misunderstanding?
Same here, my account is on lemmy.world and don’t appear when I go to mtgzone.com
Searching for
!mtg@lemmy.mlyields no resultsYou can see at the bottom of mtgzone’s modlog ( https://mtgzone.com/modlog ) that the admins removed that community. Idk why, possibly to avoid confusion, maybe they see this and can answer.
If I search for
!linux@beehaw.orgI find this comment, but not the actual community
