[Solution] What helped the most: Searching for full external URL. Don’t search for ‘Communities’, search for ‘All’. Example URL: https://instance.com/c/communityname Search for this, wait a couple of seconds, search again.
Hello, I just registered on lemm.ee today and tried to import my subscriptions. I know these communities exist, but they don’t show up when I’m trying to visit them through lemm.ee.
Some examples:
- https://lemm.ee/search/q/!geopolitics%40kbin.social/type/All/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1
- https://lemm.ee/search/q/!nachrichten%40discuss.tchncs.de/type/All/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1
- https://lemm.ee/search/q/!nasa%40lemmy.ml/type/All/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1
- https://lemm.ee/search/q/!science%40lemmy.glasgow.social/type/All/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1
lemm.ee is federated with all of them. I also checked the other side (except for kbin, don’t know where to find that information on kbin). lemmy.ml and discuss.tchncs.de are federated with us. I could subscribe to some other communities hosted on these instances. https://lemmy.glasgow.social/instances might be an exception, I never saw an instance page like that.
Subscribing generally works, I successfully subscribed to about 230 communities from various instances.
Most of the 82 communities from my wishlist are probably from instances which are federated in both directions. I tried reloading the search, switching between ‘Community’ and ‘All’, to no avail.
Any ideas what might be wrong, what I could do?
This is the way how it works. If it does not work directly, wait some time. The servers can be overloaded so the sync might not be able to fetch instantly.
