Example: I have a community c/lanadelrey@lemmy.world
Searching for these on other instances like beehaw.org or lemmy.one:
!lanadelrey@lemmy.worldhttps://lemmy.world/c/lanadelreyhttps://lemmy.world/c/lanadelrey@lemmy.worldc/lanadelrey@lemmy.worldlanadelrey
Gives No results. even after waiting several minutes and trying multiple times
I had this problem with !aphantasia@lemmy.world too, but now it seems to work as expected! So this begs the question: is there a delay before the communities can be discovered? How long do you have to wait in general?
This is how it works from what ive gathered:
First search for it using !community@desiredinstance.domain then go to the URL manually: https://currentinstance.domain/c/community@desiredinstance.domain
Then subscribe from there. Needs to be done if no one has already done so for that particular community between those 2 instances. Definitely needs reworking to be more user-friendly.
For me, searching using the remote URL works better.
Example URL: https://beehaw.org/c/technology
Same :) And sometimes if not found try again or click ‘next’
Oh hey stux! Nice to see you here!
