[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?

    Yeah, looks like I just didn’t wait long enough after hitting the “Subscribe” button. I guess Lemmy.world has queues and tasks and a bunch of background processing before things show up in Search.
