I noticed today that when using the Lemmy Explorer community search (lemmyverse.net/communities) to serach for Seattle, it doesn’t list this community, which seems to be more active than any that are listed.
https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=seattle
Just wondering if anyone with more knowhow would know why this is.
I have found that if one of the instances (the source or the one you’re looking for) is down it won’t show up when you search on your instance. Someone else said to keep clicking. Growing pains.
Now that you mention it, I don’t see any lemmy.world communities on Lemmy Explorer, at least at the moment.
It’s a gamble. Now I think I understand why Reddit was always so fucky, they didn’t fix their software. Lemmy has the excuse of not being a huge entity and ran by volunteers on the dev side. I guess Reddit and Lemmy are both ran by volunteers on the social side.
