Confirming same issue from lemmy.ca

I found this one, but wanted to connect the new !homeassistant@lemmy.world community and am unable to discover. Might be a federation issue?

Edit: Was able to join. As suspected, not fully federated out yet. To solve: users not on lemmy.world need to use their instance’s website (not via an app) and search directly for !homeassistant@lemmy.world and click into the community & subscribe. Once done, it will begin to propogate to your instance as well, helping spread it to others that may be interested.

The problem with Fedi apps is that they’re mostly using a push model not a pull model. If nobody on your instance subscribes to a community, you’re never going to see the full contents of the posts and comments there. This by-design but confusing behavior is something which I hope the Lemmy project will work on improving, so you can browse to a niche remote community or post on your instance and you’ll see all the content.

It took some time for searches to come up here too. Sometimes I need to search 2 times before I get results. Need to keep an eye on that.

Some issues should now be resolved. I’ll keep an eye.

beehaw.org is listed on the Lemmy.world linked Instances list but the same situation

seems like there’s going to be some growing pains.

I guess propagation of federated content is slow.
