    @Percy It’s not ideal, but you can also manually form the URL to load the instance if it’s not yet turning up in a search.

    Basically the format is like this

    mylemmy.domain/c/remotecommunityname@remoteinstance.name

    So to view !projectzomboid@midwest.social from my home lemmy instance of blahaj.zone, I would type the following

    https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/projectzomboid@midwest.social

    And to view it from lemmy.one, you would type the following (though I can’t test this one)

    https://lemmy.one/c/projectzomboid@midwest.social

      This doesn’t work in my experience (although I wish it did). The only reliable way I’ve seen to trigger a fetch is to enter the community URL (e.g. https://midwest.social/c/projectzomboid) or the ID (e.g. !projectzomboid@midwest.social) in your Lemmy instance’s /search page.

        This matches my experience exactly, though only one user has to do it and if someone else does the search while you’re messing around with other things it can occasionally FEEL like something else did it but then it won’t reproduce a second time.

      I’ve tried going to the website page multiple times and it always leads to this and using the syntax in the search function it just doesn’t show up
