Welcome, new users!
Welcome, new users!
There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.
Anyways, welcome! Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about anything lemmy related, feel free to ask!
Also, if you feel up to it, introduce yourself in the comments below!
edit: Here's a nice getting started guide for lemmy: https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2023/06/11/lemmy-migration-find-subreddits-communities/
i should have added it here a while ago!

Hello! And thank you for hosting!
I'm still finding my way around and I've kind of figured out the remote subscribing thing...but there are some communities that I cannot see in the search despite knowing that they are there (if I visit the other instance directly). I've seen posts where people say to just do a search for that community and it will get indexed on your instance, but it doesn't seem to be working for me.
For example: /c/[email protected] is a valid community over on beehaw, but I can't subscribe to it by searching it here (or by going to the extended URL myself) and despite having tried several times to do the search, it just isn't indexing for me to be able to subscribe to it.
EDIT: I have now been able to get it added. Beehaw was probably just overwhelmed this morning. Thanks all for the help.
it could be because some of the larger instances are under heavy load. i was able to eventually find & subscribe to the [email protected] community.
Thanks, I'll give it some time to stabilize.
I've noticed sometimes when you do a search that it seems to find it easier when you use the full URL instead of community relative to this server.
So, instead of searching for /c/[email protected] search for https://beehaw.org/c/animals
I also just realized there is a spelling error here in what you wrote. You put 'behaw.org' but it's actually 'beehaw.org', so if you looked for the former that would result in it not finding anything.
Ya, that was a typo in my comment, I was searching for the proper spelling. I have since gotten it added to my profile. Beehaw must have been overwhelmed this morning.
