So, I was curious and realized that for whatever reason, I can’t see my own community !nier@lemm.ee on lemmy.ml or Blahaj Zone. I can see it if I try using lemmy.world, but not the others. My comments at least show up.

Is this a bug with the federation difficulties or is it one of those problems of being defederated?

Some examples of my profile. Posts should have more than just the game development one I made since I’ve done posts to the community made on this instance.

    Oh, interesting. That explains why I could not see some communities Lemmyverse shows that I want to see on this instance. Guess I should search for it and hope that community is indexed so I can also pariticipate there.

    To clarify, all that has to be done is being logged in on the instance and searching the name? Or does it need to be specific (with the ! and @ in saying the community name)?

    And yeah, a little bit niche! It’s for a game franchise that is published by Square Enix though it’s had more popularity in recent years.

      The official way to search is the !community@instance syntax, but I’ve seen people say just putting the entire URL in works too.

      Bear in mind this is all changing pretty quickly as well, I think the recent Lemmy update tried to add some behind the scenes indexing when you visit a community your instance hasn’t seen before but it seems to be patchy at best.

        That worked in trying to search for that community I couldn’t find earlier and should solve it then if anybody asks me why they can’t see it on their instance. Thank you for all the help!
