Try to visit other instances and search their interesting communities on your own instance so there is a better federation among all instances.
Subscribing to as many communities as you can would help grow your instance much better.
Anyone can lookup, but if it’s a community that’s being fetched for the first time, it might take a few seconds. Try to refresh and it should be visible after that.
That’s my understanding, but I’m trying since yesterday and still no results. From Jerboa I succeeded in finding one community, but since then, it looks like I cannot even though I’m on browser right now. edit: is it possible API are overwhelmed by the number of recent requests?
can you send me the url of the community you’re trying to fetch? let me try it on my end.
