I created this community https://hilariouschaos.com/c/ComicStrips just a few hours back. When l’m trying to search for this community from this account and my other lemmy accounts, this particular community is not showing up. However, when I’m trying to make a post to this community by copy pasting the URL in this body section, it’s landing me directly on the page and accepting my post as that of the moderator’s, which is me of course.
Can anybody please tell me what is wrong over here ?
You must log in or register to comment.
I think that instance is defederated by some instances? Check that first.
Any given instance (A) knows about all communities that have at least one subscriber on A. Maybe it doesn’t have any subscribers on the instance you’re trying to see it from yet, in which case try subscribing to it by searching for its exact name.
Many. They are considered a spiritual successor to the right-wing troll instance of explodingheads.com. just consider for a moment. Which a group of people think causing chaos is hilarious?
Does your local instance know about that community? By pasting the whole URL into the search field, then subscribing to it? If nothing has been federated yet, the instance won’t show it because it doesn’t know about it.
There are site with tools to view federation status, but I don’t know any off the top of my head.
Try adding the community via this tool:
It says 41 federated by bot, 1 error, 18 not allowed. What does that mean ?
Try searching for the community via your other Lemmy accounts. Might be first worth posting something with your mod account first.
The tool enables first time federation for new communities.
Here’s one of my posts:

Of course, it’s as the moderator of the community.
I can see your community via community search on Voyage.
The post also appears on search. It looks like the tool works.
I can post in it only after l log into the instance. Also, l can cross post to other communities from it.
Check back in a few hours.

This post of mine have been cross posted to 3 different communities from that particular community.
This is what is not showing up. No search result.
Even from a major instance (one of the ones that was successfully federated by a bot)?
I have an account on lemmy world, one on lemmy ml, and one on programming.dev The community is visible from neither.
Lemmy.ml and programming.dev likely have the instance blocked due to its history with right-wing trolls. World does not. Therefore it works here. Lemmy ml doesn’t like the competition. Programming.dev doesn’t like the drama
one on lemmy ml, and one on programming.dev The community is visible from neither.
Both of those instances have blocked HC.
In trouble shooting it always important to answer at least these questions when asking for help:
- What are you trying to achieve, eg what is the end result you are hoping for.
- What is the expected behavior, or how do you think it should work?
- What is the experience behavior, so what actually happens and how does that differ from what you expected.
- What steps have you taken in trouble shooting. Are there things you’ve checked or ruled out? How so? What did you try?
- Any background you think is relevant, so which software, hardware, versions, urls etc.
This will help other people help you quickly and efficiently. This will greatly improve your chance of other people being able to help you, or you being able to help yourself.
user: curious mind wants to know why his new community on the server hilarious chaos doesnt show up. ;) :)
