I'm trying to view !projectzomboid@midwest.social from lemmy.one but it just won't show up and lemmy.one/c/projectzomboid@midwest.social says 404 community not found when I'm able to find it on my Midwest.social account any help?

@Percy It's not ideal, but you can also manually form the URL to load the instance if it's not yet turning up in a search.

Basically the format is like this

mylemmy.domain/c/remotecommunityname@remoteinstance.name

So to view !projectzomboid@midwest.social from my home lemmy instance of blahaj.zone, I would type the following

https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/projectzomboid@midwest.social

And to view it from lemmy.one, you would type the following (though I can't test this one)

https://lemmy.one/c/projectzomboid@midwest.social

This doesn't work in my experience (although I wish it did). The only reliable way I've seen to trigger a fetch is to enter the community URL (e.g. https://midwest.social/c/projectzomboid) or the ID (e.g. [!projectzomboid@midwest.social](/c/projectzomboid@midwest.social)) in your Lemmy instance's /search page.

Normally you'd paste the URL !projectzomboid@midwest.social in the search field on lemmy.one, then you should be able to find projectzomboid lemmy.one -> Communities

I just tried it on reddthat.com. It worked for !askmidwest@midwest.social and !technology@midwest.social, but not for !projectzomboid@midwest.social

Some people have said the same thing of not being able to find it in some communities but not others. Following the same steps

The specific community is causing issues for me too. I can view it in my instance (feddit.de) but I cannot see comments and also cannot post anything.
