Unable to subscribe to Photography@lemmy.ml

Hi, all. I'm trying to subscribe to the Photography community on lemmy.ml from the server where I have an account. However, I keep getting a community not found error. I can subscribe to other communities on lemmy.ml just fine, and I've checked my spelling. The photography community also doesn't appear in searches when I look under All in the Communities list. Any ideas or suggestions?

  • try using the search button to search for the community url (https://lemmy.ml/c/photography) first, then it should work.

    for some reason if a remote community has never been searched/subscribed then it will give the 404 error.

    • Searching for the URL allowed me to find it and then subscribe from my instance. Thanks for the assist!

      Seems like a flaw that I couldn't search for photography@lemmy.ml, though.

      • you can also search for !photography@lemmy.ml, with the exclamation point in front, which denotes a community.

  • From my instance it works. Try !photography@lemmy.ml

  • This is the first post in the lemm.ee database!
