I wanted to join the history memes community which is in lemmy.ml but I’m on lemmy.fmhy.ml. For the other communities I would just search it up and join but it doesn’t show up in search. How would I join it then?

Sometimes search is a little slow. I’ve had to wait 5-10 seconds for the community search results to finally show up. Perhaps that is what you are experiencing?

Nope it just says theres no results

What are you using for the search string?

I’ve found that !community-name@instance.address works best for cross instance community searches. The full https url gives me problems.

It’s still says no results but ubergeek77 said it might be that lemmy.ml is overloaded so I’m waiting till tomorrow

I didn’t realize you were trying to sub to something from Lemmy.ml. Their instance has been up and down all day, unfortunately.
