I’ve noticed there are some communities that aren’t showing up from other instances, even though we are federated with them. Is this intentional? or just lemmy being lemmy. (specifically I was trying to join some sewing based communities so nothing I think would have been banned from here)

      I’m still learning myself, but have found that if the community doesn’t show up with just a keyword, then I’ll have to enter the full url, “! community@lemmy.instance” and then wait several seconds for it to appear. It seems to be really slow to locate it sometimes.
