First of all, sorry if this magazine is not the correct place for such questions.

I “migrated” my small community over from kbin.social since, well, it’s dead. The community is Greece (https://fedia.io/m/Greece) and users from other instances such as lemmy.world etc don’t seem able to see any of my posts.

For example: https://lemmy.world/c/Greece@fedia.io

Any ideas for this?

    You generally seem to need to have at least 1 account from that instance subscribed to your magazine for federation to kick in (which then still can take a bit of time). Same works the other way around. The unfortunate thing is that you kinda have to use external community / magazine indexers to search for them, unless you know the exact name & instance domain they’re in, since a search won’t find non indexed ones by itself.

    Imo one of the largest issues regarding the fediverse.
