I’ve noticed that communities from sopuli.xyz aren’t showing up in the search. Is Pawb.Social having issues federating with that instance? Or is it just that the instance might be overloaded?

I think people need to be following communities from that instance for that instance to show up in search.
How do you follow the community if you can’t search? I’ve tried to follow homebrew@lemmy.radio, but I can’t get it to connect from pawb by searching, or even typing it in directly (pawb.social/c/homebrew@lemmy.radio - that’s the correct format, right?).
If it’s external you need to search with a “!” before. So, !homebrew@lemmy.radio.
Thanks! It’s working now.
Something else I found out, is that if someone else already searched for it with the exclamation mark method, it should show up for everyone else by just typing the name. For example, I just typed “homebrew” into search and it showed up because you already searched it.
You have to go to your instance and do a search for “!homebrew@lemmy.radio” or copy the URL and paste it into the search. It takes a few moments to find it.
