    It’s because no one has subscribed to it on your instance, you have to copy the link “https://feddit.de/c/europe”, go to “communities” at the top, search for the link, then in the search page go to the drop down and select “all”, it should then show up.

    Not the most intuitive process, but once one person on your instance has done it, it’ll work for anyone else.

      Thank you! The trick was to change the search -dropdowns default value of “Communities” to “All”, once I did that the search found it. I think this has to be a bug in Lemmy? Wouldn’t it make sense that searching for communities would bring up communities in the results. I had the filter as “All” (the one where you select Local/Subscribed/All) the whole time.
