I’ve recently joined lemmy.world and have started searching and subscribing to various communities some are on lemmy.ml but when I search for voidlinux it returns nothing.? Yet I know it exists on lemmy.ml and I can see other communities on there such as Linux. 🤔
I have the same problem. I can’t find some communities when ‘All’ is selected.
Seems to me that is communities creator fault. Maybe they didn’t do federation to other instances.
Problem with that is that there are lots of new instances, hard to keep on top of that all the time.
There’s a useful community called New Communities (or similar) - I’ll add a link here shortly.
EDIT - https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities
Also, very useful is https://browse.feddit.de, which lets you search for communities across all instances.
I’ve actually found the problem!
FIX:
While searching for community change sorting to ‘New’ and then it appears, any other sorting (Top All Time, Top Day, Old, etc.) just doesn’t show some new communities.
