Local subreddits like this are definitely what will be the hardest to recreate in my opinion, but they were also the best part of reddit. Hopefully we get some kind of migration.

Have you managed to remotely subscribe to a dmv.social community yet? I've tried to subscribe to https://dmv.social/c/washington_dc a few times from both the website and the Jerboa app but it hasn't worked yet.

It likely will take some time to federate in instances unfortunately. Things are kinda overloaded all across the lemmyverse especially with the "pending subscription" stuff within inter-instance communities, but over time it will stabilize itself. Similar stuff happened when mastodon got migrants for a time as well.

Keep trying. In the communities tab, you can type [email protected] into the communities tab and attempt to get it to federate.

Edit: it seems to have federated!
