I can view those communities just fine, can you elaborate where the issue is ?
Sure.
For example, I try to see [email protected]. If I go directly there I won't be able to see anything because I'm not logged in. If I try to search for "[email protected]" in the communities tab in the FMHY instance I get no results. I also tried this from the lemmy.ml instance where I also have another account.
The only solution I see is to create an account on the NSFW instance.
I think when you initially search, it'll only be searching "Communities" (look towards the upper left, under the word "Search", at the drop-down tab menu). Change that to "all" and it should repopulate below. Click on the link which has the "...NameOfCommunity... - ## subscribers" formatting, and it should take you to the screen where you can subscribe to the community to the upper right.
I would think searching with the "Communities" in the tab would work, but I'm guessing that means communities which are only in the community or instance that you are currently in. I hope that makes sense.
It makes sense. Thanks. And I've been able to find almost everything I'm looking for but I still find some issues while searching for newer communities.
For example, I'm looking to subscribe to the blackmetal community from lemmy.ml, I cannot find it under the FMHY instance, but I could find it with my account at the lemmy.ml instance.
Probably I'm doing something wrong, or maybe the servers are saturated.

Thanks, just trying to get used to using Lemmy as a non-tech savvy guy.
No worries it definitely takes time to get used to, but so far it seems well worth the effort. Cheers!
I agree. I'm trying to leave reddit after more than a decade
but https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] doesn't

So what I'm seeing is there is a compatibility issue with the '!' of the Lemmy instance. From fedia.io I can search for Lemmy communities if I drop the '!' from the beginning of the community name.
