I've recently joined lemmy.world and have started searching and subscribing to various communities some are on lemmy.ml but when I search for voidlinux it returns nothing.? Yet I know it exists on lemmy.ml and I can see other communities on there such as Linux. 🤔

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

[–] splitcircus@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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...

Very finicky indeed! I can see all the posts there when searching “avtech” and clicking through, but the comments and upvotes aren’t showing over there. I’m sure they’ll sort it out in time, but does seem very important when a lot of communities are trying to get off the ground.
