I'm on lemmy.ml, and I want to subscribe to https://lemmy.world/c/songaweek. There it says to put !songaweek@lemmy.world into search on my instance to subscribe, but it doesn't turn up anything. Anyone know why this might be, and/or how to work around it?

I was running into that too, then I tried pasting the https link to the community (for you, https://lemmy.world/c/songaweek) into the search bar and that worked. Just heads up you usually need to wait up to 30 seconds after pressing the “Search” button for the result to appear
