When I search for !loseit@discuss.tchncs.de I get a No results. error. It does exist. Other discuss.tchncs.de communities come up when I search just that string.
Is it something I'm doing wrong?
EDIT: Working now. It seems it just needs time to reach out and do things. Not an intuitive experience at all -- feels broken -- but it eventually does function.
This is weird, I also can't access it directly via https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/loseit@discuss.tchncs.de, even though discuss.tchncs.de is a linked instance on lemmy.sdf.org. But I can access the community via another instance, for example https://lemmy.world/c/loseit@discuss.tchncs.de. I'm also new to the fediverse, so I don't know what the solution to this problem is.
Edit: Found a solution, see my other comment.
Having the same issue with some remote communities. I've been trying to access !chatt@feddit.nu for some time.
I can see it from https://feddit.nu/c/chatt ... agreed that it is not working. Weirdly, my original example is working now.
It's working now. I guess it was just a matter of time and syncing.
Got it.
Yes, it seems to be working now ... first try.
