New user here: Why does my community not show up in other instances? (lemmy.ca)

I recently made a community, [email protected]. The community can be seen from this instance, but isn't accessible from other ones.

For example, if I go to https://lemmy.one/c/[email protected] , I get an error.

Is there some requirement communities have to reach before they appear on other instances? Is this a bug?

Sorry if the answer is obvious or has been asked before, but I couldn't find any info on this.

So the smart thing to do is to create an account on every instance and view your new community at least once from each of them?

Nah, that'd be insane. People just need to know how to discover communities and how to subscribe to them. It's a learning curve. It's why I've been going around explaining this same thing like 50 times in the last 4 days.

I am using jerboa. How can I discover communities in the app?

Unfortunately, for now, you'll have to use your phone's browser. That's a feature that's coming later.

Once you've subscribed, then looking through your feeds and responding is way nicer in the app (at least that's my opinion).
