Hi,

hope this is the right way to reach out for assistance in subscribing to lemmy.world.

I'm attempting to paste [email protected] in my search bar using mastodon. Online web and the following error appears "Searching posts by their content is not enabled on this Mastodon server."

Been on Mastodon with this account for months, but would like to check out Lemmy, though I seem to be misunderstanding how to subscribe and access it as a user.

Try putting the full link like https://lemmy.world/c/COMMUNITYNAME in the mastodon search bar. From there you can follow the community just like a hashtag or mastodon profile

@antik

yep, that worked too, but had already followed by searching for :

lemmy.world/c/technology (which of course was your original suggestion)

though it's only showing me posts by that account, and not the lemmy.world users in that community

You can click on "messages and reactions" instead of just "messages". And then you will see more than just the posts. But it's not the best experience.
