Hi, all. I'm trying to subscribe to the Photography community on lemmy.ml from the server where I have an account. However, I keep getting a community not found error. I can subscribe to other communities on lemmy.ml just fine, and I've checked my spelling. The photography community also doesn't appear in searches when I look under All in the Communities list. Any ideas or suggestions?

try using the search button to search for the community url (https://lemmy.ml/c/photography) first, then it should work.

for some reason if a remote community has never been searched/subscribed then it will give the 404 error.

Searching for the URL allowed me to find it and then subscribe from my instance. Thanks for the assist!

Seems like a flaw that I couldn't search for photography@lemmy.ml, though.

you can also search for [!photography@lemmy.ml](/c/photography@lemmy.ml), with the exclamation point in front, which denotes a community.
