Did you just type the exclamation point and wait? If so, know that you have to type a few characters before it will start searching.

That was instant
So how does it work. you do !sub@subinstance then it should find it right?
If you're the first person on your instance to look up that particular sub (community) from a different instance, it will take 10-30 seconds to before it shows up in your search, and you might need to hit search again. Or, after your first search, go to Commities -> All and search again, it should be there immediately
It's a known bug, the developers are looking to streamline the process
Yeah I found that just searching for the URL of the community would show it, while searching for !comm@instance.com wouldn't, even though both will federate the community from a different instance.
We need to try to sub to a whole lot more communities so we can reduce the need for the next wave to have to do this...right?
Don't know. I'm new here. I created my sub already. I think even I posted this when I didn't know how to use lemmy. Now I'm up and about using it like a pro ๐
I know right. I'm about 24 hours old now, and I'm grandpa yelling at clouds already.
Nice chatting. going to go read some documentation on lemmy so I can get better at it
I haven't tried that way because it seems very tedious to do on mobile so this is how I do it:
I go here https://browse.feddit.de/ copy the link (by clicking the name) and put it in the search bar. Sometimes does it take 30 Seconds. But it is pretty quick. But I may click twice just in case.
Also you must set the search to all
I'm having a lot of trouble trying to understand why you attempted, what happened, and how that violated your expectations. But check out https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/61827. It's the gold standard guide for how to discover new communities in ways that DO work.
Thanks for the feedback and the link. Will look into it right now
