At least one person on each instance needs to search for it. (While logged in) This will make the instance “discover” your community.

They can either take the full url, https://lemmy.ml/c/skypictures or !skypictures@lemmy.ml and paste it in their instance’s search bar.

They’re working on making this a bit more automatic but for now that’s how it is.

See my comment. It should work now, as I said above it might say “no results” the first time. Just means you’re the first user on your instance to search for it :)

Take the full URL of the community you’re looking for, and paste it into the search bar of sh.itjust.works while you’re logged in. https://lemmy.ml/c/yuzu (you can also search !yuzu@lemmy.ml)

It might say “no results” but go back to the community page and check again. Then subscribe.

At least one user on your instance has to have searched for it before. The devs are working on making this happen more automatically, but that’s how it is right now. Just one person on your entire instance has to do this one time, then it should work for everyone else there.

And note, comments and older posts won’t come over immediately but you should start seeing all new posts and comments.

Me too. Gonna close registrations at about 100 users. I don’t want this to get expensive but I’ll contribute what I can

I don’t think it’s true that such things are illegal in the US at least, but yes, this one should be delisted.

If I recall correctly, as long as you can tell it’s not real it’s legal. But it’s still gross. It’ll be the first server that my instance is defederating.
