@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.nameSo 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.socialAnd 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@Nyaa
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](/c/projectzomboid@midwest.social)) in your Lemmy instance's /search page.This matches my experience exactly, though only one user has to do it and if someone else does the search while you're messing around with other things it can occasionally FEEL like something else did it but then it won't reproduce a second time.
