So I'm having an issue with accessing the thegarden.land, when I view it directly I see comments on posts, but when I access it at !gardening@thegarden.land through FMHY, I see the same posts but with no comments. Here are images showing my issue.

I attempted to login to thegarden.land with my username and password for FMHY, but I just get an indefinite spinner and no response. Is this an issue with lemmy, or something I'm doing wrong?

search for it like so from your home instance (fmhy), while you are logged in on your home instance - you wont be able to log into thegarden.land unless you have an account there.

my main instance is lemmy.world - subbed here earler today using that same process ;)

Hi there I just came across your comment. The issue could be with your language settings, you need to select English AND Undetermined.
