I took one for the team and created account on another instance only to help with the load on lemmy.world. So you are welcome everyone, enjoy those extra nanoseconds you gained thanks to my absence.

Also, please don't call me a hero, I am just an ordinary man that wants to make lemmy.world a better place...

All communities won't show up on instances automatically so it may be that you're the first person on your instance to 'subscribe' to that community! In my experience with lemmy, you can simply add /c/[email protected] (TLD=top level domain) to whatever instance you're at and that should pull that community in, but it could take a few seconds.

This example url would access the /c/general community @lemmy.world from lemmy.zip:

lemmy.zip/c/[email protected]

I'm still learning all of this too, so I'm sure there's a better way - hope this helps some though!
