I've seen this mentioned a few times already: people wondering why certain communities don't show up in their instance. You need to first search for that community via the magnifying glass icon and type in "[email protected]"

Notice the exclamation mark at the beginning. Might take a few seconds. This will teach your instance about the remote community.

Where's the magnifying glass? I'm very new here and all of this is pretty confusing. Can I get an ELI5? I was able to sign up and I'm not using the Jerboa app on Android and I don't see a magnifying glass anywhere.

You should see it on the top right on the page, i take a screenshot if that doesn't help

New and also very inexperienced- I tried searching for [email protected] but am getting no results. Can someone explain to me like I’m an idiot 😂

Did the same for [email protected] and a few others. This fediverse thing is kinda harder than it needs to be.
