I’ve heard that one of the big features of Lemmy is that users from one instance can interact and follow users from different instances. But I can’t figure out how exactly that works. I made a community earlier (on mander.xyz) and when I tried searching for it from a different instance (lemmy.world) it wouldn’t show up. However, a comment I made on another post made by lemmy.world user on lemmy.ml did show up. How does this work?
I had this issue as well for a community i made in another instance. If no one from your instance has looked at it before it won’t sync. to force the check in the search use !community@website.url The bang before forces the check and should help find it
it’s still not working…
UPDATE: It works after signing in! Thanks a lot!
Did you have to do anything to become federated? I’m having trouble discovering other communities on mine
