    @Percy It’s not ideal, but you can also manually form the URL to load the instance if it’s not yet turning up in a search.

    Basically the format is like this

    mylemmy.domain/c/remotecommunityname@remoteinstance.name

    So to view !projectzomboid@midwest.social from my home lemmy instance of blahaj.zone, I would type the following

    https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/projectzomboid@midwest.social

    And to view it from lemmy.one, you would type the following (though I can’t test this one)

    https://lemmy.one/c/projectzomboid@midwest.social

      This doesn’t work in my experience (although I wish it did). The only reliable way I’ve seen to trigger a fetch is to enter the community URL (e.g. https://midwest.social/c/projectzomboid) or the ID (e.g. !projectzomboid@midwest.social) in your Lemmy instance’s /search page.
