Help: federation issues with communities not updating. (self.lemmyworld)

I recently migrated from lemmy.ml to lemmy.world to help with decentralizing and server load. I've noticed that a community I moderate, c/[email protected], is not updating: one of the mods I added isn't showing up on the sidebar, and a mod I removed is showing up. Plus, if I visit my community from lemmy.ml instead of lemmy.world, I see posts that aren't showing up on lemmy.world.

Is there a way I can fix this?

I have also noticed that communities advertised in new communities don't also show up on other instances. This seems especially true of communities originating on lemmy.world (at least for me).

Check out section 2 of finding communities in https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/61827.

Each instance needs to be "taught" about a new remote community by a logged in user on the instance searching for the community. Community lists don't federate eagerly, it's a lazy/on-demand style of populating those lists. That's universally regarded as incredibly confusing, it's the current state of things.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I found something similar after I had posted this message.

Definitely some learning to do as to how the federated system works with Lemmy.
