SOLUTION FOUND - thank you

There is a community called Tarot on lemmy.world, and I want to subscribe to it. The url is https://lemmy.world/c/tarot. I've been to lemmy.world when not logged in and I can see it there. But when I try to find it from here, I can't. I tried putting [email protected] in the search and got "no results found". I've been told that "someone needs to search for it, for it to appear", but I have already tried to search for it, many times. What else needs to happen for me to be able to see and subscribe to this community?

Or do I just have to make a second account on lemmy.world?

this is the process i have observed with setting up my own instance along with helping a number of people with theirs having the same issue in the matrix channel.

the api has a call called get_posts you would need to call it on the instance the community is on. I don't think anyone has a proper archive sync tool and if one arrived i suspect some discussion around how it could hammer an instance.
