I wanted to chat about Dune 2, but the pinned thread over at [email protected] from 13 days ago wasn’t federated to this server.
I wound up replying from my lemmy.ml account as a workaround.
Newer posts from [email protected] have been federated as normal.
Yes. Grab the home instance URL of a post or comment you want to reply to, and pop that into search on your instance.
The server should go fetch that thing in the same way it does new communities, and pop it up as a result and let you open it and then interact with it.
Thank you, that worked!
I was trying it again trying to find and join a different/c, but apparently this trick only works with the URLs of posts, not the URLs of /c’s
I should work with communities, too. And user accounts.
Communities might take a really long time tho before the result shows up, as they can take minutes to bring over.
