I'm trying to get a general religion community started at /c/[email protected] if you want to join. It's for all discussion and news relevant to religion, but obviously it'll inevitably end up being mostly about Christianity if it gets as popular as r/religion
I'm also trying to get /c/[email protected] started if you're interested in more critical discussion. I'm always willing and eager to talk religion on either community :3
It's likely because you're logged into a different instance of Lemmy than the one my communities are hosted on (lemme.ee). One of the tricky things about trying to interact with communities outside of your own instance is that links will tend to take you to a separate instance that you aren't logged into... (They're working on fixing this, but god only knows how long it'll take or what the fix will look like)
I honestly don't know what the easiest way to do it is. But what I've been doing is searching the name of the community I want to subscribe to and switching the filter from "Local" to "All".
I think I see the issue now. I think it may be that one of us is using an instance that defederated the other. (Probably because of the whole captcha debacle with bots flooding certain instances)
Because when I go to your instance and look at either of my communities, it shows "0 subscribers" and no comments on any of my posts, despite all of them having comments when viewed from my instance
Hopefully it'll sort itself out. Lemmy is pretty young, I have faith in it :P
