I created this community https://hilariouschaos.com/c/ComicStrips just a few hours back. When l’m trying to search for this community from this account and my other lemmy accounts, this particular community is not showing up. However, when I’m trying to make a post to this community by copy pasting the URL in this body section, it’s landing me directly on the page and accepting my post as that of the moderator’s, which is me of course.

Can anybody please tell me what is wrong over here ?

    Hilarious chaos is widely regarded as a nazi server, so it has a lot of defeds, they post a lot of antitrans content and it’s not against the rules, you may want to try another instance.

    I think that instance is defederated by some instances? Check that first.

    Any given instance (A) knows about all communities that have at least one subscriber on A. Maybe it doesn’t have any subscribers on the instance you’re trying to see it from yet, in which case try subscribing to it by searching for its exact name.

    Hey, firstly thanks for starting a community on our little instance - we are glad to have you!

    I have used lemmy-federate.com on your behalf to federate it more broadly.

    Regarding your issue, Lemmy can get a bit confused when you’re logged into multiple instances from the same browser. Your best bet is to clear cache and try again.

    Edit: Just read some of the other comments, lemmy.ml and some others do indeed de-federate us, which is why you won’t see the community from there.

      Thank you for getting back to me. In this thread, if you scroll, l have learnt that many instances have defederated from hilariouschaos. Now I don’t know the history, but since I deal with comics, l do hope that users from other instances can access the contents easily. Thanks once again.

        It’s true, some instances do de-federate us. Not all, hence I can talk to you here, but some do.

        As an instance we do not suppress content based on political views, and this rubs many people the wrong way. I can’t change what they do and I can’t change their minds either, so it is what it is unfortunately.

          Just 1 more request… Now that you’re sure that l’m not a bot but very much a human being like you, please allow me to post as many comics as possible in the community, as l have a lot of back up to make. And l do hope that from your end, my content gets federated.

          People are not very kind to my content 😔😔, even though they’re not of the typical nsfw category 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴

        Try searching for the community via your other Lemmy accounts. Might be first worth posting something with your mod account first.

        The tool enables first time federation for new communities.

                Lemmy.ml and programming.dev likely have the instance blocked due to its history with right-wing trolls. World does not. Therefore it works here. Lemmy ml doesn’t like the competition. Programming.dev doesn’t like the drama
