!programming@programming.dev clearly exists (see https://programming.dev/c/programming), but I can’t seem to find it in Lemmy.world’s search bar.
I see that “someone needs to search” for a community for it to appear in the search bar. Furthermore, if I go to “lemmy.world/c/programming@programming.dev”, I can see and subscribe to that instance just fine.
I’m just worried about discoverability. How was I supposed to even discover programming@programming.dev if this instance didn’t know about it?
When you do the search in your instance, sometimes it works better to search for (for example) “https://programming.dev/c/programming” instead of “!programming@programming.dev”. Using the full URL seems to work better. I don’t know why. And sometimes you have click search more than one time for it to show up.
Still some bugs to be worked out here, lol.
Yeah, looks like I just didn’t wait long enough after hitting the “Subscribe” button. I guess Lemmy.world has queues and tasks and a bunch of background processing before things show up in Search.
Thank you. Clicking search more than once is what seemed to work for me.
