!minimalism@lemmy.world Is the latest one I’ve found. I can find it if I go to my instance in the web, but not within the app.

    The first time someone on an instance enters the name of a community, is when the instance goes and looks for it. Until then, that particular community is not federated to the local instance, and it is as if it does not exist.

    Searching for a community in Jerboa, does not seem trigger this establishing of a connection.

      I wonder how many communities on smaller (or even larger) instances there are that people just don’t know about because they didn’t know to look for them.
