How can I search for new communities from the instance I'm logged into? (using Photon)
In the image example, I'm logged into my instance. I learn about another instance and want to find out what communities are on it. The search feature does nothing here. Am I typing it wrong? Is there a better alternative for exploring new communities while logged into my instance?
Until someone on your instance subscribes to a community on another instance, yours won't have any info about it. So it won't come up in search results.
You can run a search for a specific community if you know and enter it's exact name and instance. You might have to do the search twice. Once to tell your instance to look for it. A second time to see if it found it.
The place to find those specific community names and instances, is here
1Thanks, this feels like a missing feature to me. The ability to scan for communities that are unknown to my instance while logged into it should be included with federation but I'm happy with the outside resources until that gets fixed
