I created this community https://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 ?

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.com does this automatically but you need to prompt it
