I read in many places that this should be supported, but either I'm doing it wrong or it is not working.

I just signed up in my-place.social which seems to proclaim federation with over 1000 instances including Lemmy ones.

I put !fediverse in the search bar, but this community does not come up.

What am I doing wrong? Is there a friendica account I can tag to ask about this, or a group I can post in for support?

Friendica doesn't use the "!" notation. This is only a notation that a Lemmy, Piefed, or MBIN instance understands.

Friendica instead uses the familiar account notation used by Mastodon, Sharkey, Misskey, etc. It sees the Lemmy community as a user that is also a group.

If you want to follow, for example, the "asklemmy" community at lemmy.world, in the "Add New Contact" box, just enter : asklemmy@lemmy.world, and then click the "Connect" button, and it will find it, and you can follow it like any other account. Friendica will recognize it as a "Group", as opposed to an individual account, and it should show up in your Groups section.

Let me know if this works.
