Nice, good info to know. I’ve been using this browser extension to speed up subscribing to communities across different instances, so I end up just loading the URL directly rather than searching for it on lemmy.world. I’ll make sure to try searching next time if I run into the same problem.
It works for me now, thank you. I guess there’s just a delay in pushing/pulling things from different instances?
To be honest, I remember Reddit having a similar feel back in the day before it grew so massive. But this is still nice.
Any idea why I can’t open https://lemmy.world/c/gardening@mander.xyz? Mander.xyz should be federated. I just get 404: couldnt_find_community
The other thing is that they typically ban you for life, which is harsher even than our legal system. As a society we’ve agreed that it’s possible to pay your debt to society, but private companies have no obligation to see things that way. It’s like we’ve taken rules to deal with trolls in an old school Counter Strike server and tried to extend them to something that resembles a corporatocracy. It’s a lot different and more meaningful to get banned from service provided by a monopolistic company compared to getting banned from your local bar, for example, when you can just go across town to the other one.
