Hey neighbour(Greek here)!
The way federation works, is that although federation is enabled the actual communities are not automatically broadcasted to other instances. If you want your newly created community to be visible to other instances you have to manually add it there by following these steps:
- Copy the link of you own community. (i.e. https://lemmy.ml/c/greece for mine)
- Find the instance you it to be visible in (i.e. beehaw.org for you)
- Go to
/communitiesin that instance - Paste your link in the search bar and press
Enter. There will be no results but don't worry, it worked. - Delete the link from search bar and now type the name of the community (i.e. Turkey for you) and press enter.
You should now be able to see the community there.
Unfortunately each community has to be manually indexes in every instance but I think lemmy.directory is trying to index everything so people can find stuff easier, in there.
