I’m new here, to this Lemmy thing as well as this ‘instance’? (I feel like I’m using hip new words).

I think I have managed to subscribe to a boardgame community that is hosted on !boardgames feddit.de- I can’t see the comments and such when viewing from here as well.

I’m also having difficulty finding and adding this solo boardgame community because I can’t get it to show up in the search box. Is this a Lemmy thing or an instance thing?
