I’ve actually found the problem!
FIX:
While searching for community change sorting to ‘New’ and then it appears, any other sorting (Top All Time, Top Day, Old, etc.) just doesn’t show some new communities.
Could you give this a shot with !avtech@lemmy.world?
I still can’t seem to get my community on other instances when searching either by URL or with the !avtech syntax
I can find it on beehaw.org But only if I enter only “avtech” in search.
If I search “!avtech@lemmy.world” it doesn’t find anything.
Seems finicky, rules keep changing …
To me this seems as very important issue to tackle…
I have the same problem. I can’t find some communities when ‘All’ is selected.
Seems to me that is communities creator fault. Maybe they didn’t do federation to other instances.
@splitcircus @JustineSmithies can federation be disabled when creating a community? is it enabled by default?
Problem with that is that there are lots of new instances, hard to keep on top of that all the time.
There’s a useful community called New Communities (or similar) - I’ll add a link here shortly.
EDIT - https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities
Also, very useful is https://browse.feddit.de, which lets you search for communities across all instances.

Ah, nice one :-)
