Hi. I’ve subscribed to several communities outside my instance already, but I’m having a problem where I can’t seem to repeat the process for certain communities.

For example, I wanted to go to /c/test on lemmy.ml. But going to lemmy.ml/c/test takes me outside of Beehaw, my home instance, so I can’t post or subscribe from there. So I checked how I could visit this community, and its URL is https://beehaw.org/c/[email protected]. I then tried going to https://beehaw.org/c/[email protected], but that gives me an error page.

What do? I can’t find /c/test on the communities page, either.

Apologies if I’m being dumb.

      That’s really weird, just tried it myself from your search. Anything subscribed to in the past work from your instance, but nothing new (I tried chat, ohio and fediverse too). I don’t think either server is blocking eachother, no mention of that in the instance list here or here… I’m really confused by that. Definitely not something that’s supposed to happen.

      I’d say contact the midwest.social admins and ask them to double-check their federation config, something fishy is going on there.
