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 ?
Try adding the community via this tool:
https://lemmy-federate.com/
It says 41 federated by bot, 1 error, 18 not allowed. What does that mean ?
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.
Here’s one of my posts:

Of course, it’s as the moderator of the community.
I can see your community via community search on Voyage.
The post also appears on search. It looks like the tool works.
I can post in it only after l log into the instance. Also, l can cross post to other communities from it.
Check back in a few hours.

This post of mine have been cross posted to 3 different communities from that particular community.
This is what is not showing up. No search result.
Even from a major instance (one of the ones that was successfully federated by a bot)?
I have an account on lemmy world, one on lemmy ml, and one on programming.dev The community is visible from neither.
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
Both of those instances have blocked HC.
