    Confirming same issue from lemmy.ca

    I found this one, but wanted to connect the new [email protected] community and am unable to discover. Might be a federation issue?

    Edit: Was able to join. As suspected, not fully federated out yet. To solve: users not on lemmy.world need to use their instance’s website (not via an app) and search directly for [email protected] and click into the community & subscribe. Once done, it will begin to propogate to your instance as well, helping spread it to others that may be interested.

      Is it possible to do this preemptively as a not-logged-in user on another instance? Or does it have to be a member of the instance?

      It seems like we’re going to end up with a bunch of copies of the same community if you have to know that a community exists on instance X in order to propogate it to your instance. I just did that with Linguistics.

      The comments are not there, and don’t seem to be on any communities I subscribe to from other servers. Am I misunderstanding how it’s supposed to work and only posts are federated?

    It took some time for searches to come up here too. Sometimes I need to search 2 times before I get results. Need to keep an eye on that.
