MODERATORS
 

I created two small communities on Lemmy.world, one is Militaria Collecting, and one is called Unforgotten. Following the recent hack, I decided it would be best to have several moderator accounts on different instances. As I am searching for these communities on Lemmy.ml on my alt, it won’t show up. I have tried troubleshooting, but it isn’t working. Why is this, and what can I do to allow my account to join?

This isn’t just an account issue, I fear that my communities are missing out on a lot of potential subscribers if it is unable to be seen. What can I do?

Someone from another instance needs to subscribe to communities on your instance before they show up.

If nobody from Lemmy.ML subscribed to your communities, they won't show up there. You should be able to go to them directly with

Lemmy.ML/c/@

Edit: They may use a different directory than /c/; use whatever format the instance would normally use for a community URL, just remember to add the @instancename after the community. You may also need to put an exclamation point (!) At the beginning of the community name. Every instance seems to be just a little bit different in this regard.

Then you can subscribe to them with an account on Lemmy.ml.

Do they actually need to subscribe or do they just need to search it up?

I'm on a smaller server that has quite a few 0 subscriber instances.

Just search

!community@instance
