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.
Communities don’t automatically federate to other instances. Someone has to search for them specifically like
!ComicStrips@hilariouschaos.comand subscribe to it.If I open your URL without being logged in, that info is there
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !ComicStrips@hilariouschaos.com
And now once I did that, it exists: https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/ComicStrips@hilariouschaos.com
Though it won’t update as I haven’t subscribed to it, and I assume no one else did (from SDF) in these few seconds yet.
