It works fine if I am using a lemmy.world based account, but for other instances it isn’t working. It is not just for me either, other users are reporting the same thing. What can I do to fix this?

    New communities don’t automatically federate. Someone who is logged into the instance has to interact with them to cause their instance to discover the new community.

    1. Someone needs to search for the community in a specific way for the community itself to be discovered.
    2. Someone needs to subscribe for posts/comments to get federated.

    See https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/61827 for more details.

    But your community will show up on lemmyverse.net, and will show up for people on your instance. Beyond that you have to advertise it in new-community communities and in juggling adjacent communities where interested folks might hang out.
