https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] doesn’t work, but that form of syntax seems to work for other communities.

    Oh…!

    This whole visibility thing is a serious problem, even though everyone seems to want us to think of it as normal and acceptable. Doing anything on a small instance becomes a bad idea.

      Yeah discovery is kinda terrible. Luckily there’s tools like https://lemmyverse.net/communities and https://lemmyverse.net/kbin/magazines, but something like that definitely needs to be built into Lemmy itself.

      To get the community started you can put it on [email protected], sub.rehab if there’s a counterpart on reddit, and maybe advertise it in any relevant places. After you get just one subscriber from an instance everyone there will be able to see it in search and the all tab.

      Yes. I have been preaching that since I first started using lemmy in June. Every time I bring it up my comment is downvoted to oblivion. The way it currently works is borderline abusive to new users of lemmy.
