When typing or trying to use the ! it never works. I have to go to the communities from my instance then find it then I can see it and subscribe. When i logged out for testing i couldn't do anything either. is this normal. or are the servers full right now since the migration from Reddit?

Thanks

If you're the first person on your instance to look up that particular sub (community) from a different instance, it will take 10-30 seconds to before it shows up in your search, and you might need to hit search again. Or, after your first search, go to Commities -> All and search again, it should be there immediately

It's a known bug, the developers are looking to streamline the process
