[SOLVED] Why do I get two different results on two different Lemmy instance?
[SOLVED] Why do I get two different results on two different Lemmy instance?
[solved]
Apparently, I had to type in [email protected] instead of just piracy and it does work. Now, I guess, that's one disadvantage of lemmy?

sh.itjust.works just doesn't show c/piracy
Because that's partially the purpose of having different instances.
Administrators have control over how much reach (be in or out) communities have in their respective instances.
very interesting. Although, I feel like this one was different since entering [email protected] worked
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
good bot
Try searching for [email protected] on sh.itjust.works while logged in.
Thank you! Though I still kinda prefer I had gotten the results just by typing in piracy
Come to think of it, it could've also been that that community maybe actually did show up in the sh.itjust.works search results when you searched for just "piracy", but that the community was lower down on the page and sort of blended in with the other results, so you didn't notice it.
You can try searching just "piracy", and then choosing "communities" from the drop-down menu just to the left of the "subscribed" button. That should make the search results show only communities, so that it's harder for communities to get buried by or hidden among irrelevant results.
