I’ve heard that one of the big features of Lemmy is that users from one instance can interact and follow users from different instances. But I can’t figure out how exactly that works. I made a community earlier (on mander.xyz) and when I tried searching for it from a different instance (lemmy.world) it wouldn’t show up. However, a comment I made on another post made by lemmy.world user on lemmy.ml did show up. How does this work?
This is exactly what I’m trying to figure out. I’m trying to subscribe to some communities on mander.xyz but am having a lot of troubles because it’s on a different instance. I would love further insight into this.
I had this issue as well for a community i made in another instance. If no one from your instance has looked at it before it won’t sync. to force the check in the search use !community@website.url The bang before forces the check and should help find it
