As I am trying to spread awareness of our instance and communities to others, I am running into issues with other instance users being unable to find certain communities. Example:
While I am able to search communities on their instance just fine from fanaticus.social (in this case, lemmy.one), they are unable to find us and I am also unable to find some of our communities when I use the lemmy.one search function. @headie_sage I don’t know if you have more knowledge in how to resolve this.
There are no results for our Nationals community.
There is not a result for our NFL community, just one of my posts to !nfl@lemmy.ml.
The !cfb@fanaticus.social community does appear in the results.
Hey just wanted to let you know that a nice lemmy.world user ran some tests for me and confirmed that he had to execute a full url search and subscribe in order for a foreign community (on fanaticus) to show up in the simplified search (both
!community@instance.tldand justcommunity).It looks like it’s an initial subcription by someone on their home server kicks off the initial federation job.
