Why don’t communities show up on lemmy? [email protected] for example can’t be found if I search for the community porn under all. https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected]’t exist either, but shouldn’t it?
Is it a federation thing? does lemmy.ml not federate with lemmynsfw?
Is it too new to show up still?
Communities that haven’t been subscribed to yet on an instance take a few minutes to show up after you search for them. This is something the need to fix: the delay is fine, but the need to provide useful user feedback, “connecting to community, check back in a few minutes”
For future reference, that’s exactly it.
to find a federated community that no one else has searched for, you need to go to the searchpage on your instance, like: https://lemmy.ml/search then search for the whole URL, like: https://lemmynsfw.com/c/porninfifteenseconds
then it should show up.
Although I’ve had it that the search page needed a reload and that it first showed no results and after that switched to the found community.

what is the catch there?

It can be about lemmy.ml using allow list instead of allowing every instance. They may add it to allowlist or blacklist. Not sure.
but your main community [email protected] does show up when you search for nsfw
https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] works as well.
so your instance would have to be on the allowlist, but do you have to allow communities as well?
Ok checked instance list and we’re allowed. Can you check the url again? Because it working for me right now.
yeah, it just started showing up, pretty sure.
but [email protected] still doesn’t show up (at this point)
and https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] doesn’t (yet) work.
But I guess it’s a time thing then? takes a bit to sync, especially under current loads
You should search the url (https://lemmynsfw.com/c/porninfifteenseconds) in lemmy.ml site to let lemmy.ml fetch the community. I know it should work with accessing directly to the url but not working right now.

Lemmy seems really janky when it comes to this
