Hi, what do you mean by visiting directly?
If you were the first person to subscribe then yes it wouldn't show up if you went directly to it until it had federated with us :)
I entered the url manually, like: https://lemmy.zip/c/[email protected]
For future reference, what's an easy way to federate with a new community without making a post !linking to it?
There's a couple of ways of doing it, I've personally found the easiest way (for me) is to paste the origin url into this sites search bar and it will eventually come up with the community that you can click on and subscribe to.
Or in the search bar you can do [email protected] and it should appear. Usually it takes a few seconds, returns "no results" and a couple of seconds later a link will appear to the community.
