Not sure if this is the best place to post, but I’m trying to figure Lemmy out. Suppose I want to subscribe to [email protected] using this account… how do I do that?
When I go to the “communities” tab and search for “news”… doesn’t show up there. I can search for “technology” and find results for [email protected]. I can go to a URL on this domain for that community; but plopping the word “news” instead of “technology” in that URL gives me a 404.
Do the admins of this instance have to whitelist specific other communities before people here can subscribe to them? Have they done that with “technology” but not “news”? (I understand if that’s the case. Probably want to keep programmers.dev on topic. Just trying to figure out how lemmy works)
@snowe , is there a particular reason for comments from [email protected] being unlisted from programming.dev, e.g:
Does order of operations in community subscription and server creation play into this?
Or is this all ephemeral because servers for lemmy.ml being overloaded with reddit users?
Yeah you have to subscribe and then comments made after the subscription should show up. I’m not sure if you’re seeing other issues? I’m brand new to all this as well 😬
