Basically I made a community on lemmy.fmhy.ml and then searched for it on a different instance and it wasn’t coming up, and apparently you have to search !community@instance and subscribe and only then will the community be searchable/accessible from the other instance.

The fediverse is ready, if you build it they will come!

I think there needs to be a sensible way to crowdfund the server costs, but I can’t see any other reason why it shouldn’t succeed

Wow. TIL. 3 days too late to try it 😂

It’s one of those features that you get used to & then miss - but agree it’s not absolute top priority! :))

+1 for being able to do this without the workaround
