A refugee from The Other Place when Spez decided to sell out. Be gentle with me, I’m middle aged and trying to get my head around new tech.
I’m having exactly the same issue trying to login - I’m guessing that as it’s hosted on OP’s own instance, our instances are not yet federated with his. Not really sure how to remedy that.
Edit: Managed to subscribe with the usual workaround - searched the community list for aquariums, not there. Searched again with !aquariums@lemux.minnix.dev, still not there. Waited a minute, searched again for ‘aquariums’ and it was there and let me subscribe.
This is brilliant! I can’t bring myself to go back, even to visit, as I only use mobile and refuse to use that shitty app. But it’s great to hear people are fighting back.
Only one, I was tempted to sign up to another but I only just about got a nice mix of subscribed communities on this one and don’t have the patience to go through it again. I don’t really see the point, either, unless you are signing up to a second one that isn’t federated with your current one.
Also, shout out to ReddThat.com, absolutely zero glitches or issues so far except for those that seem to be fediverse wide. Good place to be with good people.
