There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.

Anyways, welcome! Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about anything lemmy related, feel free to ask!

Also, if you feel up to it, introduce yourself in the comments below!

edit: Here's a nice getting started guide for lemmy: https://tech.michaelaltfield.net/2023/06/11/lemmy-migration-find-subreddits-communities/

i should have added it here a while ago!

i first tried the search for [!indieheads@lemmy.world](/c/indieheads@lemmy.world), but then tried the url (https://lemmy.world/c/indieheads), and it found it. a bit weird, but it now looks like if you search either one now it'll come up. maybe a weird federation quirk.

the wine one is weird though. going to https://lemmy.world/c/wine gives a 404, and if i search for it on their site i get this: https://lemmy.world/c/wine@lemmy.world, but searching for that here doesn't appear to work either.

i'm guessing it's an issue related to this: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3017

i can contact their admin to see if they can "fix" that community for now.

Thanks for your help! Searching !indieheads@lemmy.world still doesn't work for me but https://lemmy.ca/c/indieheads@lemmy.world does now work for me. Any followup on the wine one is greatly appreciated too!

you're welcome! and yes, i will let you know if i hear anything.

Sorry just as a followup to this: I made some comments in indieheads... but I notice it only shows my comments. If I access the community through lemmy.world/c/indieheads, I see everyone else's comments.

Any idea why?

yeah, if you're the first subscriber to a remote instance, it usually takes an hour or two for the community to get sync'ed properly. but once it is, updates should be quick.
