I have another account on lemmy.ml and can’t see any of the aussie.zone communities when I search for them, even if I provide a proper URL as outlined here.
Maybe this is a problem on their side or just a bug, but I thought I’d mention it here in case there’s an instance config issue here that can be fixed.
IMHO it would be nice if the communities here showed up on the biggest Lemmy instance to help aussies find their way here.
Edit: Looks like this took care of itself, likely just server congestion on the lemmy.ml side as others suggested. Thanks all!
I’m not sure if it made a difference, but I found searching through the web interface using syntax “[email protected]” worked, but it took a little while.
