How do I subscribe to a community within sync? (kbin.social)

The community does not show up in search, and when I enter the full link (!community@ instance.com) , it seems to treat it as a string to search for rather than an address.

Is sync relying on lemmy.world even when my home instance is somewhere else? Doesn't make sense to me, but I'm not familiar with the sync architecture

    I just assumed that was where your Lemmy account was that you used to search. Did you search from Sync without being logged in? It wouldn't surprise me if lemmy.world is the default instance, since that's where ljdawson is registered.

    No, I'm logged in. And it's a small enough instance that I'm sure nobody's messing with it or defederating it.

    Can you find the community when searching for it from your Lemmy instance in a browser?

    Yeah, used the link to access it in the browser from my lemmy account and subscribed. It showed up in sync shortly after

    That's been my experience too, browser is still the only reliable way to initiate discovery of an unfederated remote community as far as I know.

    EDIT: actually it might be working on Voyager
