BallsInTheShredder@lemmy.world 1 year agoDidn’t know anyone would be interested! Here ya go lemmy.world/c/mechanicadvice join, comment and post away! If there’s anything you’d like to see in the community let me or someone else know, we’re still figuring it out

Odd that it never came up when I searched for it previously. I wonder if you might be missing subscribers because they can’t find the community like me.

It’s only really been active for a little bit, maybe that’s why? Aside from that, I’d guess that maybe it’s an issue with different instances though couldn’t say for certain as I’m Lemmy inept. Are you on Lemmy.world?

No, I’m on sh.itjust.works but I can search lemmy.world. i was active on mech advice on Reddit before coming over here and have looked for it a few times. Even now, though, I searched for it right before I took the direct link to the community and got nothing. It’s just weird.

Your instance probably simply doesnt know that this community exist. You cant magically see all communities on a different instance you’re federated with.
It’s one of the problems of activitypub right now.

I figured you could! That is strange. I searched it just now and got it, the only difference I can think of other than being on sh.itjust.works would maybe be the app you’re using? I’m not savvy enough to have much of a guess tbh but it would be nice if people could find us!
I know I was bummed out when I couldn’t find a community for it, one of the biggest miffs I had about leaving Reddit!

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !mechanicadvice@lemmy.world
