I’ve registered on Lemmy.ml when it was still possible and created a Wishing community, basically micro writing prompts. It doesn’t seem to be accessible from Beehaw, however, as I’ve been informed by Beehaw users trying to subscribe.

For instance, this yields 404: https://beehaw.org/c/wish@lemmy.ml

Am I doing something wrong? Should I be sending a request for the community to be allowed to share?

Additionally, I tried using said Lemmy account to post to https://lemmy.ml/c/support@beehaw.org about this issue, but I don't think that worked right either. It's there https://lemmy.ml/post/1231900 but doesn't show here. I've decided to resort to posting here directly with here account. Which I understand is not the fediverse way. Might be wrong. It's not very straightforward.

Thanks for help.

I think part of the issue is that you're including both beehaw.org and lemmy.ml - I found your community by looking for !wish@lemmy.ml using the search function on Beehaw. I'm still figuring things out myself but think this should address the issue at hand.

I appreciate your help (not OP, but found this because of a similar question)

I can find a lot of communities by going to https://beehaw.org/c/[community]@[server], but some work and some don't and I can't work out a rhyme or reason for why and have to just try them and see what happens. I assume I'm just not getting something and making this harder than it should be, since that's my typical speed.

😂 let's call it "fun", us figuring out all these quirks together. I'm not sure if it's a matter of other instances that Beehaw users have already connected to, making indexing what's on that instance faster over here, or if it's something totally different. I've had the most luck populating my subscriptions by using the site's search tool with "![community]@[server]"; I've also been playing with Jerboa's search tool but currently get timeout errors or no results whereas the search from the site will display a result for me (this isn't every time but there is a noticeable difference). Part of me thinks some of these hiccups are from the unpredictability of exodus traffic and its impact on the various servers.

some of these hiccups are from the unpredictability of exodus traffic and its impact on the various servers.

That's been what I've been wondering as well - with all of the chaos and hiccups right now, maybe I did figure this out already, and things just a little tilted for the time being. Then I also wonder if some of what I think I figured out might also be that tilt and worry myself again.

🤷Oh well - we'll sort it out eventually 😆
