Xitter, pronounced “shitter”.

Nice! Thanks!

I’d love to know what your prompt was

I have a lot of issues with Lemmy and more specifically how the fediverse will work with multiple copies of communities and the knee-jerk defederation. But, in terms of stability, content and quality, I feel like it has been getting better. I’m willing to give it some more time.

Okay, I’ve found searching with the full url in the search on the website of the instance you’re trying to see it on works best. So put “https://sh.itjust.works/c/japanese_metal” in the search. Initially you won’t get any results, but after a few minutes searching normally (just the name) will work. I don’t know how long, I usually just put the url search in then “walk away” and check back later.

You’ve confirmed that those instances are federated with this one? Like, other communities from here show up there?

Are you searching on Jerboa?

Yeah someone else pointed out shell and I’m kicking myself for missing it!
