There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.

Anyways, welcome! Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions about anything lemmy related, feel free to ask!

Also, if you feel up to it, introduce yourself in the comments below!

it could be because some of the larger instances are under heavy load. i was able to eventually find & subscribe to the !animals@beehaw.org community.

Thanks, I'll give it some time to stabilize.

I've noticed sometimes when you do a search that it seems to find it easier when you use the full URL instead of community relative to this server.

So, instead of searching for /c/animals@beehaw.org search for https://beehaw.org/c/animals

I also just realized there is a spelling error here in what you wrote. You put 'behaw.org' but it's actually 'beehaw.org', so if you looked for the former that would result in it not finding anything.

Ya, that was a typo in my comment, I was searching for the proper spelling. I have since gotten it added to my profile. Beehaw must have been overwhelmed this morning.
