Does it take a while to use the !name@place (lemmy.world)

When typing or trying to use the ! it never works. I have to go to the communities from my instance then find it then I can see it and subscribe. When i logged out for testing i couldn't do anything either. is this normal. or are the servers full right now since the migration from Reddit?

Thanks

So how does it work. you do !sub@subinstance then it should find it right?

If you're the first person on your instance to look up that particular sub (community) from a different instance, it will take 10-30 seconds to before it shows up in your search, and you might need to hit search again. Or, after your first search, go to Commities -> All and search again, it should be there immediately

It's a known bug, the developers are looking to streamline the process
