I've tried solutions explained here and here. I am trying to subscribe to some communities on the TTRPG Network. Am I missing something?

Search for either the url or !communityname@instance in the search bar with it set to all and then you can navigate to it using a link

Ex. for ttrpg if you want the rpg community you would search for https://ttrpg.network/c/rpg in the search bar

And then you can get to it from https://programming.dev/c/rpg@ttrpg.network (make the link manually in this format)

Using the manual URL worked best I think. The other approach (!community@instance) never seemed to load.

I do have a follow up question though, why do these posts look so different on each instance? Do we only get new content going forward I suppose? The post itself is from before I subscribed so old posts seem to come in, I guess maybe not old comments though?

Yeah theres some shenanigans with the federation. Dont know what exactly causes it but probably something with other servers not federating fully with us yet due to not much interact between the two instances

Do you have any insight into the server's performance? I was getting some errors around the same time before I tried. Maybe it was just lag. That's basically what I tried (I think, maybe I got a small detail wrong). I'll try later and see.

The server was getting hit by a ddos attack earlier if you were getting 404s when trying to use programming.dev

Its running fine now though
