Can't find communities from other lemmy instances through the search
Can't find communities from other lemmy instances through the search
Am I doing something wrong? It seems to me that we ought to be able to find communities from other instances by searching for them, but I don't really see much when I search. Sometimes some communities show up, but it seems to be only communities I've visited before or something?
You're viewing a single thread.
If you could let me know what you’re searching for I can take a closer look, but essentially on the search page the fastest way to locate a community on another server is to type the url of that community (for example, https://mtgzone.com/c/mtg) or it’s Lemmy address (!mtg@mtgzone.com).
I’ll write up a getting started guide as well on this and searching/connecting/interacting with other Lemmy websites.
If I search for
!linux@beehaw.orgI find this comment, but not the actual community!linux@beehaw.org doesn't seem to exist
Well, then.. I guess I got pranked when I found that comment by searching for
!chat@beehaw.org
Searching for
!mtg@lemmy.mlyields no resultsThat one I do get results for
(alrhough sometimes it will say no results and then if you click next to go the next page it will look again and find it)
You can see at the bottom of mtgzone's modlog ( https://mtgzone.com/modlog ) that the admins removed that community. Idk why, possibly to avoid confusion, maybe they see this and can answer.
A guide would be great . Thank you!
I think it might be something up with specifically mtgzone.com? I've made comments in !legacy@mtgzone.com, but I don't see them unless I specifically come through my "home" instance of lemmy.ml? Unless I'm misunderstanding?
Same here, my account is on lemmy.world and don't appear when I go to mtgzone.com
