Not seeing communities

  If a community isn’t federated yet, you need to put the full name or link into search. After at least one local user has subscribed, it will show up for all.

  Simply copy the community name with instance name (e.g. !memes@lemmy.world) or the community link (e.g. lemmy.world/c/memes) and put it into the search.

  Hmm,
  No idea how accurate that is - know nothing about anything, please take it into consideration - but I think this may be the case: the instance show every post from every federated instances that are subscribed by people in the instance?

  If you're on europe.pub and you subscribe to "!flippanarchy" than all people on europe.pub will gain the ability to see their post in the "all". Until at least one person do it, it's only "potentially" connected.

  Could it be the case here?

    Well I see it now, maybe someone else from europe.pub can confirm as well.

    Thank you I didn’t know that communities are not shown until someone is subscribed to them.

      I think that it only federates new posts after someone subscribes as well, so when viewed on your instance it may not have as many posts as the community’s instance.

      That's what I heard, but, again, it's all confusing to me as well :)

  Do they have at least one subscriber on the target instance yet? If they don’t, be the change you want to see.
