Noob question about federation and communities (lemmy.ml)

7 comments fedilink hide all child comments

On my main (@Choco617@lemmy.world), I moderate !technicaldeathmetal@lemmy.world. I thought I’d kinda federate my existence on the platform by creating this alt on lemmy.ml, but when I search communities, while I can find some other lemmy.world ones (validating that .ml/.world federation is working as I understand it), technicaldeathmetal isn’t found. Am I doing something dumb as a user? As a mod? Have I misunderstood the intent of this instance, and I’d be better off trying the same thing from elsewhere? TIA

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: !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
