I am logged in on on reddthat.com and would like to join Festundflauschig@feddit.de

However, the search in wefwef.app (which I am currently using to access lemmy) returns nothing.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for helping a newbie out. (This is the first post on lemmy for me)

    Check this comment out.

    Some information here may be outdated as there was a recent update to the Lemmy server that’s in the process of trickling down to instances and it may have fixed some of the glitches, but the general procedure still applies - i.e. paste the fully qualified community name in the search box and submit - it should eventually show up as a single result. Clicking that result will take you to the mirror of that federated community on your instance, on which you can then subscribe.

    (E: flubbed the link, sorry)

      @bankster21@reddthat.com the links are also case-sensitive! meaning you had Festundflauschig@feddit.de, when you actually need to search by !festundflauschig@feddit.de

      I am nearly certain I tried all that yesterday and it didn’t work, but only now does it work! I can find the community. Thanks!

      However, trying the same with the community fragfeddit does not work. So I am still trying to figure out where I did something wrong. :-/

      I followed the advice to search for !fragfeddit@feddit.de as stated in the link, but that doesn’t work.

      Edit: This comment also recommends the approach you suggested, but it doesn’t seem to work for me. https://reddthat.com/comment/173066
