I’m new to lemmy.
When I search for !loseit@discuss.tchncs.de I get a No results. error. It does exist. Other discuss.tchncs.de communities come up when I search just that string.
Is it something I’m doing wrong?
EDIT: Working now. It seems it just needs time to reach out and do things. Not an intuitive experience at all – feels broken – but it eventually does function.
It can take a little while for your home instance to federate with the remote server and find/cache the community in question. When in doubt, search for the full URL of the community, that’s what works the most consistently for me.
