Am I doing something wrong? It seems to me that we ought to be able to find communities from other instances by searching for them, but I don’t really see much when I search. Sometimes some communities show up, but it seems to be only communities I’ve visited before or something?
If you could let me know what you’re searching for I can take a closer look, but essentially on the search page the fastest way to locate a community on another server is to type the url of that community (for example, https://mtgzone.com/c/mtg) or it’s Lemmy address ([email protected]).
I’ll write up a getting started guide as well on this and searching/connecting/interacting with other Lemmy websites.
I think it might be something up with specifically mtgzone.com? I’ve made comments in [email protected], but I don’t see them unless I specifically come through my “home” instance of lemmy.ml? Unless I’m misunderstanding?
Same here, my account is on lemmy.world and don’t appear when I go to mtgzone.com
If I search for
!linux@beehaw.orgI find this comment, but not the actual community[email protected] doesn’t seem to exist
Well, then… I guess I got pranked when I found that comment by searching for
!chat@beehaw.orgSearching for
!mtg@lemmy.mlyields no resultsThat one I do get results for
(alrhough sometimes it will say no results and then if you click next to go the next page it will look again and find it)
I see. There’s probably some caching for the search function that doesn’t contain absolutely everything at any given time (since that is rather intensive).

You can see at the bottom of mtgzone’s modlog ( https://mtgzone.com/modlog ) that the admins removed that community. Idk why, possibly to avoid confusion, maybe they see this and can answer.
A guide would be great . Thank you!
