Anyone here wanting to join a sub similar to a Reddit one, but it's not here and you don't want to make it because you don't wanna be in charge?

Yeah, sorry about the run-on sentence title, but I hope you get what I'm saying

I have neither the time, nor confidence to mod; but I have wondered if we should make something like a "lemmy wishlist" for communities we'd like to see ported. Seems like a good way for the lemmy community to vote on and discuss communities they'd like to see, and connect to would-be mods

I decided to make this over at https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/lemmy_wishlist

How do I subscribe to it? I try to type it like this

https://lemm.ee/c/lemmy_wishlist@lemmy.blahaj.zone

But it throws me 404. Meanwhile,

https://lemm.ee/c/196@lemmy.blahaj.zone

works fine.

Try putting the full provided link (as posted, no editing, so: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/lemmy_wishlist) in search bar of your instance. This should prompt this community to start getting federated on your instance and then it should be accessible at https://lemm.ee/c/lemmy_wishlist@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Ok, now I understand. I was previously pasting it into the community dropdown meanu in the lemmy search page, but not in the search bar.

As in the search bar at the top of your browser window?

I meant search page I guess. There's a magnifying glass Icon at the top of the page. You should see something like this on the Image here. And then you can subscribe to the community from your instance

Most importantly - has it worked for you? If so, I'm glad I could help. If not, I'm sorry, but I'm still pretty new to this and don't know much yet

It worked, thanks a lot. I'll make sure to teach this to 2 or more people at least if I encounter someone struggling with similar problem. That's how we'll learn this new system.

I believe this can happen if your instance (in this case lemm.ee) doesn't yet know about the new community. But if you enter the full url (https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/lemmy_wishlist) into your instance's search, it should look for it and find it. Maybe you have to wait for a couple seconds but for me this usually works.
