I created this community hilariouschaos.com/c/ComicStrips just a few hours back. When l’m trying to search for this community from this account and my other lemmy accounts, this particular community is not showing up. However, when I’m trying to make a post to this community by copy pasting the URL in this body section, it’s landing me directly on the page and accepting my post as that of the moderator’s, which is me of course.
Can anybody please tell me what is wrong over here ?
I think that instance is defederated by some instances? Check that first.
Any given instance (A) knows about all communities that have at least one subscriber on A. Maybe it doesn’t have any subscribers on the instance you’re trying to see it from yet, in which case try subscribing to it by searching for its exact name.
Many. They are considered a spiritual successor to the right-wing troll instance of explodingheads.com
Hey, firstly thanks for starting a community on our little instance - we are glad to have you!
I have used lemmy-federate.com on your behalf to federate it more broadly.
Regarding your issue, Lemmy can get a bit confused when you’re logged into multiple instances from the same browser. Your best bet is to clear cache and try again.
Thank you for getting back to me. In this thread, if you scroll, l have learnt that many instances have defederated from hilariouschaos. Now I don’t know the history, but since I deal with comics, l do hope that users from other instances can access the contents easily. Thanks once again.
It’s true, some instances do de-federate us. Not all, hence I can talk to you here, but some do.
As an instance we do not suppress content based on political views, and this rubs many people the wrong way. I can’t change what they do and I can’t change their minds either, so it is what it is unfortunately.
Does your local instance know about that community? By pasting the whole URL into the search field, then subscribing to it? If nothing has been federated yet, the instance won’t show it because it doesn’t know about it.
There are site with tools to view federation status, but I don’t know any off the top of my head.
also lemmy-federate does this automatically but you need to prompt it
user: curious mind wants to know why his new community on the server hilarious chaos doesnt show up. ;) :)
In trouble shooting it always important to answer at least these questions when asking for help:
This will help other people help you quickly and efficiently. This will greatly improve your chance of other people being able to help you, or you being able to help yourself.
Try adding the community via this tool:
It says 41 federated by bot, 1 error, 18 not allowed. What does that mean ?
Try searching for the community via your other Lemmy accounts. Might be first worth posting something with you mod account first.
The tool enabled first time federation for new communities.

Hilarious chaos is widely regarded as a nazi server, so it has a lot of defeds, they post a lot of antitrans content and it’s not against the rules, you may want to try another instance.
