Been trying to add !politics@beehaw.org and have tried to be patient, but it’s still not showing up for me. Also having issues getting to some over at sh.itjust.works.

    Gah, ok I literally just figured it out. You can subscribe from the link you get when you post the federated name in the lemmy.world search ok.

      Also, someone needs to have subscribed to the community on your local instance already before your instance knows about it. You can trigger your instance to “find” the community by going to Communities > All and searching !community@instance.whatever, waiting a few seconds, and then subscribing. Though with all the new traffic, federation can get backlogged.
