      Yep, working for me now 😆 Any chance including the link in the body of my post triggered it?

        Yeah at a guess the first community was already linked here. The second was not, until you searched for it.

          Searching doesn’t seem to do much for me.

          E.g. this search doesn’t show up movies@lemmy.ml: https://aussie.zone/search/q/movies/type/Communities/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1

          And the URL: https://aussie.zone/c/[email protected] just gives a 404 no matter how many times I refresh it (and it’s been at least 10 minutes since I first searched and tried that URL).

          (Whereas the URL for that instance works fine https://lemmy.ml/c/movies)

          NOTE: I’ve deliberately marked the URLs as code so they won’t be linked, which I think is triggering the update, but I figured I would give it a bit longer to see if searching alone does it.

            I searched for https://lemmy.ml/c/movies. First time, nothing. Second time it showed up. I think lemmy.ml is just overloaded.

              Hmm, maybe I’m just misunderstanding exactly what you mean by ‘searching’. What was the URL of the search page when you did the search? E.g. https://aussie.zone/search/q/... (or is it even of that format?).

                Hmm something odd is going on. Searching for movies shows the community, but for the full https://lemmy.ml/c/movies URL does not.

                  Yeah, and searching communities for movies@lemmy.ml also gives nothing at all.

                    Okay so I’ve been able to get communities to load after (but not necessarily as a result of) spamming a mixture of their full URL (e.g. https://Lemmy.world/c/music), their URL without the protocol (e.g. lemmy.world/c/music) and just the community name by itself (e.g. music). The results always turn up on just the community name by itself.

                    I’m thinking the most likely explanation is that the communities are found by incrementing through the federated instances, and the time it takes is just highly variable (probably due to server load, and possibly the order in which instances are polled?) and my spamming the various formats I mentioned above is simply a way to keep myself occupied while I wait 😆
