Hopefully, I’m not breaking any rules by posting this here!
I thought that instead of every community being on the main lemmy.ml instance I’d host a different (dedicated) instance for refugee rustaceans to get a hang of the fediverse.
It’s listed on join-lemmy/instances and the link is lemmyrs.org, everyone is welcome!
I can’t figure out how to sub from szmer.info, I tried typing the whole URL to https://lemmyrs.org/c/rustlang in the search bar, and nothing is found.
Okay, so it is definitely a little wonky but I was able to search for lemmyrs.org/c/rustlang from another instance.
I first had to paste the full url https://lemmyrs.org/c/rustlang in the search bar then click search a few times for it to actually show up.
I understand it’s very annoying that it is this way but I’m hopeful that the experience will smooth out over time.
Thanks, but when I tried spamming “search” it doesn’t seem to work, while spamming “next” eventually hangs the whole thing. Could be a problem on my side, my instance is running Lemmy 0.16.7.
Oof. Once the performance problems are sorted out, improving this really should be next on the developers’ agenda.
Hmm, I’ll try to debug that tomorrow. It has been a bit flaky in my experience as well. Some folks have had success subscribing from other instances fwiw but its been admittedly inconsistent.
