Community are not visible from lemmy.ml
I have tried looking for communities on lemmy.world on lemmy.ml, but I couldn't find it.
Tried searching for:
- !lemmyworld
- [email protected]
- https://lemmy.world/c/lemmyworld and so on, but no luck.
It took some time for searches to come up here too. Sometimes I need to search 2 times before I get results. Need to keep an eye on that.
It feels like there are some sync issues, I don't see comments in posts from others instances like beehaw.org.
beehaw.org is listed on the Lemmy.world linked Instances list but the same situation
seems like there's going to be some growing pains.
The problem with Fedi apps is that they're mostly using a push model not a pull model. If nobody on your instance subscribes to a community, you're never going to see the full contents of the posts and comments there. This by-design but confusing behavior is something which I hope the Lemmy project will work on improving, so you can browse to a niche remote community or post on your instance and you'll see all the content.
Some issues should now be resolved. I'll keep an eye.
I was able to find this post: https://lemmy.world/post/5
In beehaw's search: https://beehaw.org/post/427547
I guess propagation of federated content is slow.
Confirming same issue from lemmy.ca
I found this one, but wanted to connect the new [email protected] community and am unable to discover. Might be a federation issue?
Edit: Was able to join. As suspected, not fully federated out yet. To solve: users not on lemmy.world need to use their instance's website (not via an app) and search directly for [email protected] and click into the community & subscribe. Once done, it will begin to propogate to your instance as well, helping spread it to others that may be interested.
