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

    Thanks for helping!

    Any ideas?

    Edit: you can see in the auto-links in our comments, my community returns “couldnt_find_community”, my counterexamples both work fine.

        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!
