True but my login info would be stored in lemmy.world and not my home instance.

@sunaurus@lemm.ee is this something you’d consider for lemm.ee?

Did the page look like everything was enlarged and wouldn’t revert back? If so clearing cache on browser fixes it.

When trying to post try setting the language to English. Also goto your settings and make sure all languages are selected or at a minimum “undetermined” and “English” and check that community again to see if posts are showing.

Aw that’s great. Thanks for the info Sunaurus.

pours one out 😢

Is there a way to choose to have the post previews show like previous rather than just the post title? Not sure if it’s a bug or a design choice. Hopefully it can be an option in settings.

Yeah exactly. That community will now be federating with the instance you are on so all new content should start to show.

Is this fixed in 0.18? I had a look at the release notes/change log and wasn’t sure whether it would be listed or it’s already been covered.

I know this has been pretty much resolved now but just in case anyone else has issues with this and comes across this post. The most reliable way I’ve found to search for communities that don’t show up initially (due to being the first person subscribing from this instance) is:

Click the spy glass at the top right and search for the full url e.g. https://kbin.social/m/magazinename or https://lemmy.world/c/communityname. It may not look like it’s doing anything. Hit search again and then go back to the communities page and just search for the community or magazine name. It should now show. It possibly won’t show any content yet if you are the first person from your instance to subscribe to it.

Looks like the fix for this is implemented in release 0.18. We just need to wait for all the instances to upgrade.

I hope not but who really knows at this point? I imagine the amount of people following subreddits via rss is really small in the grand scheme of things so hopefully they don’t see a reason to kill them.

I much prefer this approach. Thanks for the update. I’ve seen a lot of comments on other instances where people are wanting the latest updates implemented asap regardless.

Would be cool if there was a way that new comments were highlighted regardless of time. Much like how Apollo does it on Reddit.

That is the full URL. That community already shows if you just search for emulation.

Yeah I’m pretty sure that’s how it works.

No problem. It will be the same if you are trying to join a Lemmy community that’s hosted on another Lemmy instance that isn’t showing up in search.

If you click the spy glass at the top right and search for the full url https://kbin.social/m/nintendoswitch. It may not look like it’s doing anything. Hit search again and then go back to the communities page and just search for Nintendo. The community should now show. It possibly won’t show any content yet if you are the first person from your instance to subscribe to it.

I’m not sure if there is an issue with kbin at the moment as I’ve experienced similar today. It’s being discussed on this post here https://lemmy.world/post/456733

I’ve just tried this and it works. If you click the spy glass at the top right and search for the full url https://kbin.social/m/Amsterdam. It may not look like it’s doing anything. Hit search again and then go back to the communities page and just search for Amsterdam. The community should now show. It possibly won’t show any content yet if you are the first person from your instance to subscribe to it.
