Related question: How to join a community once you found it? Asking specifically for people coming from a tiny instance.

For example, I know that https://beehaw.org/c/news is a thing. But when I try to find it, I get ‘No Results’. How do I force my instance to discover [email protected]? I tried adding a bang to both strings to no avail.

Same issue with a couple other communities I found but cannot find from my home instance, which is federated to all but https://lemmygrad.ml/.
