I’ve tried solutions explained here and here. I am trying to subscribe to some communities on the TTRPG Network. Am I missing something?

      Do you have any insight into the server’s performance? I was getting some errors around the same time before I tried. Maybe it was just lag. That’s basically what I tried (I think, maybe I got a small detail wrong). I’ll try later and see.

        The server was getting hit by a ddos attack earlier if you were getting 404s when trying to use programming.dev

        Its running fine now though

      Using the manual URL worked best I think. The other approach (!community@instance) never seemed to load.

      I do have a follow up question though, why do these posts look so different on each instance? Do we only get new content going forward I suppose? The post itself is from before I subscribed so old posts seem to come in, I guess maybe not old comments though?

        Yeah theres some shenanigans with the federation. Dont know what exactly causes it but probably something with other servers not federating fully with us yet due to not much interact between the two instances

    The second link contains the probably the answer. If you did everything right with the search and your desired community still does not show up it might be because your instance defederated the other instance

    One thing that wasn’t obvious to me initially when I started searching for !community@instance is that the search results are fetched asynchronously. So you might see “no search results” and think it failed, but if you let it sit there a bit, the results will often appear. Hitting the “Next” button sometimes helped too.
