I’m having trouble searching for / subscribing to some small communities on small instances. They don’t show up in the search. It doesn’t matter whether I use the community name or the. !xxx@yyy.zzz format.
I don’t know if this is a Jerboa issue or due to my “home” instance or a federation problem.
I’d like to both solve my problem and better understand how federation search works. Anyone have some insight?
Someone educated me the other day and taught me to use a URL of yourinstance/c/communityname@otherinstance
That seems to work better for me after doing the search you suggested. Takes a minute or two though for it to start showing. From there you can subscribe and then it will show in the app.
