I get "Instance is not registered" when trying to look up a local community here:

https://lemmy-federate.com/

Is there a reason that slrpnk.net is not listed?

Maybe it would be a good thing to add a first time login guide or so to the UI, but I don't think these minute details will matter much to first time users.

I can't really say for sure what first-time users would find useful, but having the explanation couldn't hurt. People who don't care won't read it anyway.

Maybe you would be interested in writing a text explaining it for our wiki? We can link it in the sidebar then. Just use our Etherpad to draft a text and I can add it to the meta community page on our wiki.

https://wiki.slrpnk.net/lemmy and linked on the sidebar. We can probably expand this a bit in the future as well. Thanks for the draft.

Great! I notice two grammatical errors where it says "to which ... subscribed to" (the final "to" should not be there), but I don't know if you did that or I did. Oops. Other than that, cool, glad to be of help!

I added those because it sounded very odd to me without those. Not a native speaker though 🤷

It does sound odd, but it's correct without them. A sentence must never end in a preposition, so "you have subscribed to" becomes "to which you have subscribed" in this case.

Ok, I removed those extra "to" again. I'll just trust you on your grammatical insight 😆
