That worked in trying to search for that community I couldn’t find earlier and should solve it then if anybody asks me why they can’t see it on their instance. Thank you for all the help!

Oh, interesting. That explains why I could not see some communities Lemmyverse shows that I want to see on this instance. Guess I should search for it and hope that community is indexed so I can also pariticipate there.

To clarify, all that has to be done is being logged in on the instance and searching the name? Or does it need to be specific (with the ! and @ in saying the community name)?

And yeah, a little bit niche! It’s for a game franchise that is published by Square Enix though it’s had more popularity in recent years.

I’m not too sure if it’d be a search issue considering I did try searching before I myself even made any accounts or communities.

It seems from testing and also trying an account on other instances that communities on Lemm.ee just doesn’t appear for most other instances for some reason. Lemmy.world works fine, but lemmy.ml and others seem to struggle. Blahaj Zone is a good example in that this community is the only lemm.ee community I can find, and it only shows posts from over two weeks ago.

Honestly, I’m not sure if that means it’s an issue with lemm.ee or other instances, but it certainly is a concern just because it limits heavily who can actually see the community.
