    @Percy It’s not ideal, but you can also manually form the URL to load the instance if it’s not yet turning up in a search.

    Basically the format is like this

    mylemmy.domain/c/remotecommunityname@remoteinstance.name

    So to view !projectzomboid@midwest.social from my home lemmy instance of blahaj.zone, I would type the following

    https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/projectzomboid@midwest.social

    And to view it from lemmy.one, you would type the following (though I can’t test this one)

    https://lemmy.one/c/projectzomboid@midwest.social

      This doesn’t work in my experience (although I wish it did). The only reliable way I’ve seen to trigger a fetch is to enter the community URL (e.g. https://midwest.social/c/projectzomboid) or the ID (e.g. !projectzomboid@midwest.social) in your Lemmy instance’s /search page.

      Some people have said the same thing of not being able to find it in some communities but not others. Following the same steps

    The specific community is causing issues for me too. I can view it in my instance (feddit.de) but I cannot see comments and also cannot post anything.
