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 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.
