Unable to find/access some communities created here on other instances — How long does it take? (self.lemmyworld)

submitted 2 years ago by ndr to c/lemmyworld

9 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Example: I have a community c/[email protected]

Searching for these on other instances like beehaw.org or lemmy.one:

[[email protected]](/c/[email protected])
https://lemmy.world/c/lanadelrey
https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]
c/[email protected]
lanadelrey

Gives No results. even after waiting several minutes and trying multiple times

I had this problem with [email protected] too, but now it seems to work as expected! So this begs the question: is there a delay before the communities can be discovered? How long do you have to wait in general?

This is how it works from what ive gathered:

First search for it using [email protected] then go to the URL manually: https://currentinstance.domain/c/[email protected]

Then subscribe from there. Needs to be done if no one has already done so for that particular community between those 2 instances. Definitely needs reworking to be more user-friendly.

For me, searching using the remote URL works better.

Example URL: https://beehaw.org/c/technology

Same :) And sometimes if not found try again or click 'next'

Oh hey stux! Nice to see you here!

Can you please try with that sub? Of course, you can un-subscribe right after. Just as a sanity check, because for me it does not appear.

Thank you,

Had to use my Lemmy.World account to do it for your instance but check now and you should see one subscriber and it should now be visible in search.
