Hello, I decided to join Lemmy through FMHY as my main instance. I've been trying to add pathfinder.social to my subscribed instances using the search.
!pathfinder.social. But the instance won't actually show up. I tried on Jerboa. Then I tried through Chrome but the search brings up posts that have it as a topic but not the instance itself. Still very new to Lemmy so I'm sure I'm doing something wrong I'm just not sure what. I'd appreciate any advice.
You have to subscribe to specific sub-communities, just like with Reddit. An instance is just a server; you can’t do anything with it. But each instance has sub communities like “Gaming” or “News”. So find the sublemmies on pathfinder.social you like and individually subscribe to them.
