[email protected] clearly exists (see https://programming.dev/c/programming), but I can’t seem to find it in Lemmy.world’s search bar.
I see that “someone needs to search” for a community for it to appear in the search bar. Furthermore, if I go to “lemmy.world/c/[email protected]”, I can see and subscribe to that instance just fine.
I’m just worried about discoverability. How was I supposed to even discover [email protected] if this instance didn’t know about it?
When you subscribed to that community, that caused the lemmy.world server to know about it, and now it is available in the communities search.
