So, comrades, I learned that, apparently, lemmygrad is blocked from other pretty popular but liberal (liberals block others, lol) instances and I don’t quite understand how that works.
I can’t see posts that were made from other instances? I’m using Jerboa and have an account on lemmygrad and I can see posts from lemmy.ml, but, I guess, I can’t view even non-political posts like memes from instances that blocked lemmygrad?
At all? When I type in the URL to some of the other communities on lemmy.world in lemmygrad, I get hit with a 404 page.
The UX for finding communities in lemmy is currently hot garbage. Go to the search page and search !communityname@lemmy.world and you should find it.
Holy hell, tysm.
I ended up going to a community url on a different instance then copying the end part of the community on lemmy.ml instance then I was able to subscribe to it from there, bypassing the search feature.
Unfortunately if you are on an instance that bans lemmygrad you can’t access communities from lemmygrad this way.
