There have been multiple accounts created with the sole purpose of posting advertisement posts or replies containing unsolicited advertising.

Why can I see some lemmy.world communities but not others coming from kbin.social?

Basically title. As you can see, I see this community and can post to it fine. But some others just return a 404.

This is the link that works (for kbin.social):
https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]

And here's one that doesn't:
https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]
actual link: https://lemmy.world/c/imperor

Any input/Help would be appreciated!

Yeah, that makes some sense. Seeing the community also says created by Edwin and like half an hour ago or so. Seems to me the instance creates a local copy, once it's first accessed and that has to be cached periodically. Slowly starting to click together.

This is the way I reach the instance through the kbin search field:

@ imperor@ lemmy.world (without the spaces)

I get this as a result:

https://kbin.social/search?q=%40imperor%40lemmy.world

That's the ticket! That one worked, thank you so much! Quick edit: I do see the community now and I can also access it via the link, though it's empty for me. Alas. Definitely a step in the right direction.

My pleasure 👍🏽

Worked for me too.. Thank you!

Same for me.. I can see threads but not the community itself. The community was created a long time ago. https://lemmy.world/c/iota

cianmor ,

Thank you for the tip.. That worked

The communities have to get cached from your local instance. And sometimes it takes some time. I would suggest to search for it directly. And it looks like the url u send works now.

Still returning 404 for me and searching directly on kbin doesn't give me results, sadly. Could it be also an issue with caching on my end? Like, do I need to clear cache and cookies? Would be odd, but I don't want to dismiss it as a requirement.

Try another browser. Then you would 100% know if it is your currently browser

Good suggestion! Thank you. Just tried it, still 404 for me. Really odd.

Really odd ;( I am sorry to hear that.

Searching for this helped @imperor

Now I can subscribe, but it's still empty, but it's not 404 anymore. Now I can access it through the link as well. Man, this federation stuff still is a bit midn-boggling despite being such a simple concept. Devil is in the details.

Wait for the instance to start caching content from the comm. It might even take a few days, but eventually, it will start caching. Sometimes it might lag though, like cache for a day or two, than stop for a day or two, than catch up… these ate all home servers or VPSes, they’re not as powerfull as the servers corps have at their disposal 🤷.

Yeah, that makes some sense. Seeing the community also says created by Ernest and like half an hour ago or so. Seems to me the instance creates a local copy, once it's first accessed (or automatically found) and that has to be cached periodically. Slowly starting to click together, how it all works.
