[resolved] `404: couldnt_find_community` - sh.itjust.works

I noticed that some communities on lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] are unable to be seen on other instances. For instance, federating the lemmy community works fine: https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected] [https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]] But federating the kubuntu community returns 404: couldnt_find_community: https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected] [https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected]] I’m certain that second one should work… I’ve found perhaps two dozen other communities that have the same problem. Meanwhile, dozens of others work fine. — Edit: @[email protected] [https://sh.itjust.works/u/aspseka] suggested I try searching for the community first. I had actually tried this but it didn’t work, which is why I started trying the deep link approach above; that worked for some communities. Turns out the deep link by itself will not discover new communities, only searching for them will, and the search can take a long time and will show “No results” for a little while. So if you’re experiencing this, search instead for [email protected] from the remote instance, then the deep link will start working.
