Hey,

I switched from lemmy.world to lemmy.today about a week ago. I am enjoying lemmy.today but still figuring some things out, and wanting to walk away from using my lemmy.world profile.

I created some communities on lemmy.world before moving here, and have been trying to add my .today profile as mod to them, but I can't find some of those communities through lemmy.today.

https://lemmy.world/c/missingpersons

https://lemmy.world/c/eattherich

https://lemmy.world/c/bjg

But when I search on https://lemmy.today/communities - these communities do not appear. What am I doing wrong?

I ended up typing in https://lemmy.today/c/bjg@lemmy.world to find one community, and left comments there to interact with it, and be able to add myself as mod, but the comments are not appearing on my lemmy.world profile. it's as if my .today profile was shadow banned.

So I typed in https://lemmy.today/c/missingpersons@lemmy.world and it simply shows "no posts" even though there are three posts on that small, largely inactive community. What is going on?

Same issue with https://lemmy.today/c/eattherich@lemmy.world, it says "no posts" even though it is a somewhat active community.

It's odd because I have other communities that I mod that were available and it wasn't an issue.

Please offer any advise or comments you have.

Hope this post makes sense.

Thank you

Its how federation between instances work... I actually find it interesting. We have hundreds of instances and yet they manage to keep up to date with eachother almost in real time, at least for communities where someone is subscribed.

Pretty cool tech. And because of that, you can sit on the quokk.au queer friendly anarchist instance instead of this one, where you feel at home.
