I’ve tried solutions explained here and here. I am trying to subscribe to some communities on the TTRPG Network. Am I missing something?
Search for either the url or !communityname@instance in the search bar with it set to all and then you can navigate to it using a link
Ex. for ttrpg if you want the rpg community you would search for https://ttrpg.network/c/rpg in the search bar
And then you can get to it from https://programming.dev/c/rpg@ttrpg.network (make the link manually in this format)
Do you have any insight into the server’s performance? I was getting some errors around the same time before I tried. Maybe it was just lag. That’s basically what I tried (I think, maybe I got a small detail wrong). I’ll try later and see.
The server was getting hit by a ddos attack earlier if you were getting 404s when trying to use programming.dev
Its running fine now though
One thing that wasn’t obvious to me initially when I started searching for
!community@instanceis that the search results are fetched asynchronously. So you might see “no search results” and think it failed, but if you let it sit there a bit, the results will often appear. Hitting the “Next” button sometimes helped too.Okay, and the instance was very flaky earlier today, maybe that’s why. I’ll try later and see.
I was having a ton of difficulty with this initially following the documented steps and was getting a “404 community not found” issue for something I knew was on lemmy.world.
Convoluted so if anyone knows a better way please share (using mobile):
- Tap the hamburger from your home server
- Tap Communities
- Enter minimally three characters and hit search (this should take you to a more robust search page)
- Change the Communities drop down to All
- Paste the url for the desired community and tap Search
- Tap the community
- Tap the sidebar and Subscribe
Don’t know why it doesn’t work the normal way or when the URL option is used. Only All worked for me.
