I've been using Lemmy for almost a week and I'm loving it. But some aspects are still a bit obscure to me. For instance : I have my account on lemmy.ml. I used https://browse.feddit.de/ to find some communities. I want to subscribe to https://reddthat.com/c/rts.

What's the easiest way to do so ? It looks like the search function only shows communities from the instance I'm signed on.

Edit: apparently, the servers are experiencing a little slowdown. Typing !rts@reddthat.com is the search field returned nothing at first but finally worked at some random moment after spamming ':D

What are you entering in the search bar?

Either paste the full URL (https://reddthat.com/c/rts) or write !rts@reddthat.com. You might need to click the next & prev buttons a couple of times for it to show up, especially for smaller communities.

write !rts@reddthat.com

That's what I was doing bit it didn't work. Now it's working, and I believe my instance was having temporary issues. Thanks for your answer :)

Excellent resource, thank you. I was searching by shorthand, but apparently the problem was on the server side. Now it's working.

Just search for the URL of the community. It worked for me.

Yes, it finally worked. Apparently, the servers are experiencing a little slowdown.
