It seems there a lot of communities with this problem, I can't get to !openrgb@lemmy.ml
I just tried it and it worked for OpenRGB
So it should work for you now
Edit: at least the search result showed up properly 😕
https://lemmy.ml/c/worldbuilding is a 404 page (the community doesn't exist). It's very weird, because https://lemmy.ml/c/worldbuilding@lemmy.ml exists. I'll experiment and come back to you.
Search for local instances on lemmy.ml:
I believe they are suffering from this bug https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3198. Several communities have complained about the same thing. There's an issue when a community has moderators from other instances, it makes lemmy think it isn't local to any instance.
Seems like it, yes
That's what I've been trying to do all this time. Usually searching for !community@instance indexes the community for the instance I'm searching on but in this case it isn't working and seems to be a bug like @TheOneCurly@lemmy.theonecurly.page mentioned in their comment already.
I noticed when I search for !community@instance, it looks like nothing pulls up, then I change from 'all' to anything else and it loads enough for me to pull it up and subscribe.
Using the URL to pull them up was only working half the time, but then searching and changing the filter seemed to pick up that slack.
This is something that has to be fixed by lemmy.ml admins I think
