I’m going to miss AITA. Even if someone makes it a community, it will take a long time to populate.

    I still haven’t figured out how to get other instances to show up in my feed? The instructions I’ve found say to search for it, as you have listed them in your comment but when I hit search, it never finds them.

      The search behaviour is really odd. Basically, if a given community has never been searched for from your instance before it needs extra time to pull the data. So search will show no results, sometimes for a good 15-20 seconds, and then suddenly update to have a result!

      Make sure as well when you’re doing your search, you include the ! at the start and you’re searching “all” not “communities” from the dropdown.

      You can also try these direct links Gamedev, Godot but if your instance hasn’t yet pulled them for the first time those links will 404.

        That worked! Took a few tries cuz it seems like my instance isn’t happy at the moment, guessing increased traffic is the cause, but I got there in the end! Thanks for the explanation!

          No worries! Yeah I do think we’re seeing a rapid uptick in bugs and general slowness with all the new people, but we’ll get through it 😄
