I've tried a few times to search for [email protected], which seems to be the right way to find remote communities and the two servers should be federated with each other. I'm getting no results. Am I doing something wrong?
I've found I often have to search the full url for it to properly be found. I think once someone on your instance is subscribed to the community the way you're searching should work, but I'm unsure.
I’ve heard you need to link to it from a post with an exclamation mark for it to work sometimes if it’s obscure… I also cannot find https://lemmy.ml/c/usa
