So when I go to https://lemmyverse.net/communities and search for let’s say Wordpress communities, I can see at least 3 there. When I search on my instance, so I can join and subscribe, I can’t see any. Why is that? The instances they are on are not defederated from my instace.

      Switch the types drop-down from its current value of communities to all. This is necessary because we can’t have nice things.

      Also, the WordPress community should now show up in the browsable list of communities on your instance, and if you search communities for just wordpress it should show up now that you taught your instance about it. It’s all very fiddly and you must do it exactly right… but I’m pretty sure your close.

        That’s it, only had to change to All!

        Thanks! Yeah, I hope they fix that soon because with the influx of new users, most of them will never stumble upon this solution, so thinking there is no community for X, they will create a new one. And we will have millions of duplicates

      It’s working now! For some reason, on the search page it always shows 0 subscribers but when I go inside, it shows correct number - just a bug?

      EDIT: Oh, so it shows amount of subscribers from your instance!
