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.
Hilarious chaos is widely regarded as a nazi server, so it has a lot of defeds, they post a lot of antitrans content and it’s not against the rules, you may want to try another instance.
Hey, firstly thanks for starting a community on our little instance - we are glad to have you!
I have used lemmy-federate.com on your behalf to federate it more broadly.
Regarding your issue, Lemmy can get a bit confused when you’re logged into multiple instances from the same browser. Your best bet is to clear cache and try again.
Edit: Just read some of the other comments, lemmy.ml and some others do indeed de-federate us, which is why you won’t see the community from there.
Thank you for getting back to me. In this thread, if you scroll, l have learnt that many instances have defederated from hilariouschaos. Now I don’t know the history, but since I deal with comics, l do hope that users from other instances can access the contents easily. Thanks once again.
It’s true, some instances do de-federate us. Not all, hence I can talk to you here, but some do.
As an instance we do not suppress content based on political views, and this rubs many people the wrong way. I can’t change what they do and I can’t change their minds either, so it is what it is unfortunately.
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.
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.
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
