I'm usually unable to access new communities or instances using the typical process described of putting the handle or URL into the search bar. I noticed this from the beginning, but I waited a couple days to become more familiar with how it worked properly, and in a couple cases things seem to have improved somewhat. But the problem in general remains.

I understand that this could be a general problem not exclusive to Baraza, but I thought I should mention it here in case there are some special or unique conditions applied that I did not know about.

Are Baraza mods interested in trying this? I would be willing to nominate a few subs.
