For context, my community is a kbin magazine https://kbin.social/m/vegetablegardening
I posted something similar a couple of days ago and thought it was solved, since someone commented they could see my community on vemmy.net. But I’ve only been able to find my kbin magazine/community on vemmy and lemmy.one so far. I’ve tried lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, beehaw.org, feddit.uk, etc. but none of them work.
What gives? Do I have to wait for a user from each instance to search for my community? Am I doing the search terms wrong? I’ve tried : the actual URL, the name of the community, !VegetableGardening@kbin.social , or even typing instancename/c/vegetablegardening but all it turns up are comments where I or others mention the community, not the community itself, or a “couldnt_find_community 404” error.
Can anybody help?
Someone on that instance needs to interact with the community for it to be indexed there. To speed up the process, (I believe) you can cross-post content between your community and other communities on other instances, to drive clicks to your community. Alternately, you can go to communities covering similar interests and post links.
For what it’s worth, I can see it from pawb.social.
I will be verifying it today.

I had to search a few times; the first search didn’t display any results.Showing up on my personal instance… https://mylemmy.win/c/VegetableGardening@kbin.social
