That is the full URL. That community already shows if you just search for emulation.

Yeah I’m pretty sure that’s how it works.
No problem. It will be the same if you are trying to join a Lemmy community that’s hosted on another Lemmy instance that isn’t showing up in search.
If you click the spy glass at the top right and search for the full url https://kbin.social/m/nintendoswitch. It may not look like it’s doing anything. Hit search again and then go back to the communities page and just search for Nintendo. The community should now show. It possibly won’t show any content yet if you are the first person from your instance to subscribe to it.
I’m not sure if there is an issue with kbin at the moment as I’ve experienced similar today. It’s being discussed on this post here https://lemmy.world/post/456733
I’ve just tried this and it works. If you click the spy glass at the top right and search for the full url https://kbin.social/m/Amsterdam. It may not look like it’s doing anything. Hit search again and then go back to the communities page and just search for Amsterdam. The community should now show. It possibly won’t show any content yet if you are the first person from your instance to subscribe to it.
I’ve had no issues before when using kbin and finding Lemmy communities but I’ve just tried again there to check and the search is not working for me either now.
I just added mine to my profile but I don’t think the encrypted message option has appeared yet. Not sure if it takes time once added.
It would be an alternative to DM’s which, I think, can technically be viewed by the instance owner. If you have a Matrix account linked then you would have an additional option on your profile to receive a secure message.
I’ve been seeing this quite a lot. Not came across a definitive answer but from what I can gather it’s an issue with instances federating comments. I wonder if it’s an issue just now due to the massive growth and the stress on instances. @[email protected] may be able to offer a better insight.
I’ve been seeing this quite a lot today and it’s also probably because I’m looking out for it. The posts I’ve seen and checked all had comments from users from Beehaw, Lemmy.world, kbin. The comments did not match up between viewing from here (lemm.ee) and the source post. I’m kinda putting it down to all of these instances getting hammered with signups and potential strain on the servers but I’m happy to be told that’s wrong.
I would guess that things will get better, sync faster and more consistent as time goes on.
If anyone has a better or more informed opinion as to why this is happening please comment as I’m trying to get a better understanding of all of this as the days go on.
Would be cool if there was a way that new comments were highlighted regardless of time. Much like how Apollo does it on Reddit.
