Example: I have a community c/lanadelrey@lemmy.world
Searching for these on other instances like beehaw.org or lemmy.one:
!lanadelrey@lemmy.world
https://lemmy.world/c/lanadelrey
https://lemmy.world/c/lanadelrey@lemmy.world
c/lanadelrey@lemmy.world
lanadelrey
Gives No results.
even after waiting several minutes and trying multiple times
I had this problem with !aphantasia@lemmy.world 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.
