I'm noticing a much smaller list of communities here (self.support)

Hello, When I go to communities and list all, I can only see two pages of communities. If I search for a community I know about there's a good chance it does not show until I go to https://lemmy.nz/c/group@instance

Once I do that I can subscribe to the community and it's behaving normally.

Is this an effect of it being federated?

Thanks

I believe searching is required. You can't just skip to https://lemmy.nz/c/parenting@lemmy.ml

However, once one (logged in) user from lemmy.nz has searched for it by URL or as !parenting@lemmy.ml, then you can visit that URL.

I've just searched for this community and it's now showing fine, but when I first searched it had the pause on "No results" like it hadn't federated yet. You should be able to join it now no problem.

I feel like as lemmy matures, this is a process that a client app can automate. eg. If given a lemmy community url check if it exists, if it does then search for it on the users intance, then retry periodically until it's available.

That does make sense, thanks for having a look.
