Will anyone explain how communities become available for members of an instance to see/be able to subscribe to?
I joined a smaller instance on lemmy, but I’m having trouble finding some communities. Eg. “nostupidquestions” shows no results, so I think someone needed to have added it? But I’m not sure who
If nobody from your instance has subscribed yet, it won’t show up in searches. You can manually grab it by pasting “[email protected]” into the search field in the “Communities” tab up at the top. It’ll say “not found” but then you should be able to find it by searching just the name or just going straight to the URL. Keep in mind it’ll fetch the submissions but you won’t be able to see old posts, only new posts from after you subscribed.
I don’t know what the procedure is for kbin.
