There's 3 very different scenarios. I'll use server1 and comm@server2 to illustrate
Nobody on server1 is subscribed to comm@server2. Until and unless someone searches/subscribes in the community page for the full URL (https://server2/c/comm), nothing from that community is pulled in at all, and going to the link results in a 404 community not found error.
Somebody on server1 searched for comm@server2, but did not subscribe. A few of the top posts are pulled in, but nothing too heavy. The comments & votes are not guaranteed to be accurate.
Somebody on server1 subscribes to comm@server2. Every post, comment and vote from that point forward is pulled in, the user counts will normalize, and generally after a few hours it'll look the same (except for some missing historical posts from before the subscribe).
Does that answer your question? Happy to clarify further if needed.
Kind of? I have found that repeated searches do not help. Tho not completely sure I have been using full URL. I will start trying that and see if I have better success.
Thank you. I think it does answer the question.
Make sure you switch all search options to "All", even "Communities"
I've noticed that I have to search for "!community@instance" first, then just "community", then finally it'll show up. Though even then there are a few communities I subscribed to that still aren't updating.
Yah. So far with searching using https://lemmyverse.net and right-click copying the community's full URL (not the [email protected]) and search ALL at my home instance works every single time.
Follow up: Indeed. Full https URL in ALL search works every time. Thanks again all.
