I just joined the NZ lemmy here, because Lemmy.world was slow. This instance is much faster for me, but when searching for communities, many that I was subscribed to with my lemmyworld account didn't show in the search results.

I fixed this by manually finding it in the address bar, like this:

https://lemmy.nz/c/linux@lemmy.world

And this will work for all communities, just replacing the appropriate parts:

https://lemmy.nz/c/[communityname]@[instancename]

Then you can subscribe and it will show in your 'Subscribed to communities' on the main page. (sometimes I have to refresh for all to show up).

This might be a known issue at the moment, but I've only been on Lemmy for like 3 days so idk

This is so helpful.

I've set my home community to lemmy.nz but when I open a community, I still cannot subscribe?

edit: If i click Create Post, then go back the Subscribe link now works and I get Subscribe Pending

Specifically with lemmy.ml, a lot of people from many instances are having trouble with pending subscribe requests.

I think it's because lemmy.ml is having trouble with so many users, the site is overloaded. You may just need to wait for it to eventually resolve.
