You should know this because finding communities on lemmy can be tough.

    A brand new instance on the fediverse doesn’t initially know about any other instances. Only when someone searches for a community@instance does it then go talk to that instance and subscribe to get posts/comments etc.

      Maybe you can help me. I joined under Lemm.ee. I want to subscribe to c/catswithjobs@lemmy.world but it doesn’t show up on my search list. What do I type in to find it?

          Thanx for the reply! For some reason, I didn’t get the results in my search bar via the Connect app, but I was able to subscribe via my desktop. Not sure what the difference is, but at least I can see my working cats now :)

            I’m also not sure what the difference is, but the desktop app does seem to be better about initial federation. Glad you were able to get your working cats, feel free to ask if you have any other questions
