It does look like the admins will have to address this judging by the GitHub issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3075

My home Lemmy doesn't seem to be able to find communities on kbin, when I search for something like [email protected] it just never resolves. :-/

Feel optimistic about it, we’re the trailblazers, pioneering the post-Rexxit era!

Yea I mean, no wonder the companies have no incentive to avoid a broken day one release. The internet never learns.

I've actually been wondering this myself and haven't gotten an answer yet. At any rate, the workaround we found over at lemmy.pt is pretty reliable:

1. Go to the Communities page on your home instance
2. In the search box, search for [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]) so in this case [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]), with the exclamation mark at the front.
3. Wait like 10 seconds and search again for just the name of the community, so in this case wine.

This seems to be a way to force your home lemmy to "learn" about the remote community at which point you can subscribe to it.

That would be https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] specifically

Is doing this actually necessary? In practice, it seems like latency is not going to significantly affect your usage of Lemmy. 50ms versus 300ms matters in gaming but not so much in a web browser. It feels like downtime and error rates are the actual data you want, but on the other hand, too many people hammering Lemmies to get this information would have the reverse effect of pushing some of them over load.

Für normale Leute wäre es unverständlich, würde ich erraten. „Lass mich zuerst die Fediverse erklären…“

No kidding, wasn’t r/jailbait the biggest sub for a while there?

I’ve never understood the need to militantly oppose others’ personal situations when they have no impact on your own. Even playing devil’s advocate - what is the point of the hate? You don’t believe in gender identity, then don’t personally be trans. The fact that others may be would seem to have literally zero impact on you or your life. Why should Lemmy accommodate negativity that does real harm to people in sensitive circumstances?

For instance, when I look at the list of comments on this thread sorted by both Hot and New, directly on Lemmy.ml versus on my home instance of Lemmy.pt, I don't see the same set of comments. Not all of the ones from Lemmy.ml appear to have made it over to my instance. Is there some sort of eventual consistency mechanism in the system?

One question I still have is how quickly posts and comments propagate across the Fediverse. How can I be sure the comment I'm writing actually shows up across other instances, and how long after I write it does it take on average to show up other places?
