Noob question about federation and communities (lemmy.ml)

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

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

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.

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
