On my main (@Choco617@lemmy.world), I moderate !technicaldeathmetal@lemmy.world. I thought I’d kinda federate my existence on the platform by creating this alt on lemmy.ml, but when I search communities, while I can find some other lemmy.world ones (validating that .ml/.world federation is working as I understand it), technicaldeathmetal isn’t found. Am I doing something dumb as a user? As a mod? Have I misunderstood the intent of this instance, and I’d be better off trying the same thing from elsewhere? TIA
just to make sure, you’re doing it while logged in, right?
if so then thats about it for my ideas…
Yep - tried in Memmy for iOS and also Firefox (mobile). Glad it’s not something obvious at least! Guess I’ll try again in a while, see if maybe my account’s age is the issue. Thanks again!
actually, it looks like theres some issue keeping lemmy.world federating properly with lemmy.ml atm. I saw another post mentioning it and checked myself.
https://lemmy.ml/c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world shows the most recent post as 2 days ago when there was really a post around 4 hours ago.
that’d certainly keep new lemmy.world communities from getting pulled in.
neither server has defederated with the other, so don’t expect it to be a permanent issue
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
PERFECT. This is exactly the sort of sync issue I was hoping it was, sure makes my end easy if I can simply wait for it to be sorted out.
