I have another account on lemmy.ml and can’t see any of the aussie.zone communities when I search for them, even if I provide a proper URL as outlined here.
Maybe this is a problem on their side or just a bug, but I thought I’d mention it here in case there’s an instance config issue here that can be fixed.
IMHO it would be nice if the communities here showed up on the biggest Lemmy instance to help aussies find their way here.
Edit: Looks like this took care of itself, likely just server congestion on the lemmy.ml side as others suggested. Thanks all!
I was having trouble getting the melbourne community here to show on the other instance I signed up in. I tried putting the full !melbourne@aussiezone into the search bar, and into the URL with no success. It eventually worked when I put it into the search bar, and then changed the setting from community to all.
I think they can be a bit buggy the way the communities work together, and I think the connection can lag a bit before content shows up on some instances. Probably particularly bad at the moment with all the new people.
