I tried every ways to find communities from other instances. Searching for the url, searching for [email protected], with the filter “all”, and I always get no results.
Those are communities that I find in other instances and would like to join. Nothing works.
How do you do it??
Oh, I see it… the
type
dropdown in the upper-left underneath the wordSearch
is set tocommunities
(which… intuitively seems like it should work and in my opinion the fact that it doesn’t is a bug). You need to change it fromcommunities
toall
. I thought from your OP you had done this, but you must have been referring to one of the other boxes withall
as a value… there are a couple there.Technically, this step is described in step 2c of https://lemmy.world/post/9296, but it’s so confusing and unintuitive that you have to read it so perfectly and precisely and get no feedback when it goes wrong. Fixup your type dropdown and you’ll be good though.
Yeah I was able to find some. Unintuitive indeed.
Now I can’t subscribe to the communities I find cause I can’t login on my instance. Spinning button forever, can’t login. And can’t subscribe through Jerboa app 😑
