Thanks, I did not know that. I’ll have to try it out

What app are you using? If you’re on iOS, I know the Voyager app allows for selection of filtering your search to Communities, Users, Posts, etc. and Lemma has a pretty good smart search that has found the communities I was looking for.

As far as I am aware, at least one user on your instance needs to be subscribed to a community on a different instance or at least specially searched for it to be searchable. In your case, if no one on lemmy.world is subscribed to or specifically searched for lemmy.radio/c/amateur_radio, you wouldn’t see it on a search from you lemmy.world account. Otherwise you’ll need to use a browser to find the community and seek it out on the web. Not super streamlined yet, I agree.

The only other more functional browser searches that I know of are:

https://lemmyverse.net/ and https://browse.feddit.de/

I’m definitely going to start using Usonian. It seems the most natural. We probably can’t use Colombian because… you know…that’s a country already haha

My God, I couldn’t remember what that scene that dialog was from. I finally found it and here you have it posted already. 😂 Golden scene

That makes sense. Thanks, I wasn’t aware of that before

That’s what I kind of assumed too, but everything appears to be working

I tried getting on the Matrix chat and got

That’s basically what I had to do. View the vLemmy community from another instance’s account and copy what I could over.

Really a bummer.

Right but like I mentioned, my profile lists that I am a moderator for the two communities I added. I also have the Reports list for posts or comments that get reported on those communities, but the actual mod options are not there.
