You have my bow.

Thanks! I’m on desktop and was successfully finding communities in search, just unable to join them - maybe it’s finicky right now. I was finally able to join !main@midwest.social and !gaming@midwest.social under this account, but wasn’t able to earlier. Opening any links (including from search) to community sites under the midwest.social instance would sign me out.

I can’t join any midwest.social communities, I have to create a new account. Is this because my account is under sh.itjust.works and midwest.social isn’t linked like Beehaw and lemmy.world? Not a question specifically for you, just anyone with fediverse knowledge.
