Why can't my community be found from other Lemmy instances?

3 years ago by redacted_user_name to c/lemmy_support

I try to view my community hosted on https://sopuli.xyz from any other instance like lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, lemmy.one, etc and all I get is 404: couldnt_find_community. Does my community need to meet some requirements first?

What’s the community you’re trying to get working?

I was able to find it from the instance I’m on

Guess someone from your instance subscribed to it, as mentioned below. Thanks for confirming!

you need to search for the community first, otherwise you get the 404. also give it a few seconds to come up too, when searching.

So do I need to make burner accounts on every lemmy instance and subscribe to my community so it can be found on each instance?

Searching for it in the search bar from within your instance is usually enough (the very first time it may not work show up as everything gets synced). If you want to ensure it shows up on every instance than yes you will need to make an account on every single instance and follow. Generally though, as more people start subscribing and searching; this will naturally happen.
