It works fine if I am using a lemmy.world based account, but for other instances it isn’t working. It is not just for me either, other users are reporting the same thing. What can I do to fix this?
New communities don’t automatically federate. Someone who is logged into the instance has to interact with them to cause their instance to discover the new community.
- Someone needs to search for the community in a specific way for the community itself to be discovered.
- Someone needs to subscribe for posts/comments to get federated.
See https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/61827 for more details.
But your community will show up on lemmyverse.net, and will show up for people on your instance. Beyond that you have to advertise it in new-community communities and in juggling adjacent communities where interested folks might hang out.
I see, thank you for taking the time to make this explanation, I really appreciate it!
From monyet.cc most of the comments in this thread are missing.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
It’s working for me
Thankyou
Shows up for me when I search for “[email protected]”
Thank you! I’m surprised you found such an old unpopular post.
