Example: I have a community c/[email protected]

Searching for these on other instances like beehaw.org or lemmy.one:

Gives No results. even after waiting several minutes and trying multiple times

I had this problem with [email protected] too, but now it seems to work as expected! So this begs the question: is there a delay before the communities can be discovered? How long do you have to wait in general?

    i have had slow access trying to get stuff from beehaw.org but I have no issues with lemmy.world.

    this may have to do with various deployment choices these teams have made. Location in the world still matters even if using something like akami. as the network gets more instances sharing content the gaps will close.

    I have that issue too through the Jerboa app and also on mobile browsers. It just doesn’t work on my phone at all right now.

    However it does work on a desktop browser for some reason. I use chrome on both laptop and phone, so it’s kind of weird, but I managed to find and add a lot communities by using the laptop.
