To get to another instance there is the "Magazines" link at the top of the page, or just go directly to the one you want such as https://fedia.io/m/anarchychess@sopuli.xyz

To create a new one is under that '+' icon at the top of the page. Looks easy but I haven't tried it yet.

You can also hit search and type it in in the format @imaginaryfairies

Also, someone has to subscribe to the community, or else Fedia won't load data from another instance.

FarraigePlaisteach,

Oh, so I can get an existing community on another server to show up here by subscribing? That sounds ideal as long as the other server has decent uptime.

FarraigePlaisteach,

Searching macos or @macos doesn’t find that community on any instance unless I use the magazine search, which is under the hamburger menu.

I think if you're searching you need to put the domain in too.

Magazine search is a bit different but will only show the communities already known to the server, the global search will find remote ones too.

That appears to be a bug. I've seen similar problems before but never on an active kbin community. Maybe @melroy has some idea?

Searching on the handler should indeed find & create the user if not present:, eg. https://fedia.io/search?q=%40Gaeilge%40kbin.social However, fedia.io still seems to return "Empty". I tried to do the same on my instance and that worked.

I'm not sure what goes wrong, assuming kbin.social didn't block fedia, then I suspect some kind of issue at fedia.io. I believe we need to debug this issue on the server-side. Hopefully @jerry can have a look at his logs when trying to execute the search query above and maybe find the root-cause that way.

The search worked for me just now.

it is working for me as well. I'll check to see if there was anything in the error logs.

ok - just looked through logs and I am not seeing anything that looks related to this issue. There are a good number of error 500's coming from kbin.social, but none appear to be around the time of these posts, nor associated with the referenced magazine.

He user only now seems to exists (created 1 day ago it says): https://fedia.io/m/Gaeilge@kbin.social. So yes it seems to work fine!

@FarraigePlaisteach @kbal be sure you are logged-in before doing this search.

FarraigePlaisteach,

I thought I was logged in but I can’t remember now. I don’t see a 404 now though, just “empty”. There are posts in that magazine though, on its instance.
