So, comrades, I learned that, apparently, lemmygrad is blocked from other pretty popular but liberal (liberals block others, lol) instances and I don’t quite understand how that works.
I can’t see posts that were made from other instances? I’m using Jerboa and have an account on lemmygrad and I can see posts from lemmy.ml, but, I guess, I can’t view even non-political posts like memes from instances that blocked lemmygrad?
Are any of their communities federated with lemmygrad? Individual communities on other instances don’t show up in All unless at least one person on your instance subscribes to it.
At all? When I type in the URL to some of the other communities on lemmy.world in lemmygrad, I get hit with a 404 page.
The UX for finding communities in lemmy is currently hot garbage. Go to the search page and search !communityname@lemmy.world and you should find it.
Holy hell, tysm.
I ended up going to a community url on a different instance then copying the end part of the community on lemmy.ml instance then I was able to subscribe to it from there, bypassing the search feature.
Unfortunately if you are on an instance that bans lemmygrad you can’t access communities from lemmygrad this way.
