    Does lemmy.world federate with midwest.socal? Searching for !succulents@midwest.social on lemmy.world returns no results 😥

      You’re guess is as good as mine. I really wish there was a list in each instance for this reason. However, I’ve had the same issue before and I found that just searching at a different time fixes things.

        Click the “Instances” link at the bottom of the page and it will show all the instances you’re federated with and which ones are blocked. It looks like lemmy.world is federated with you, but no one from there has connected with your community yet, so that’s why its not showing up.

          Wow thank you for this! That’s exactly what I was looking for! Looks like midwest.social is federated with everything except 3 instances and they’re nothing too special.

      you can click the Search button for the entire site lemmy.world (not search for community), and type the whole website address https://midwest.social/c/succulents , and then wait for it to find the link to the instance itself. Then you click Subscribe. It would add this to the communities search for lemmy.world if no one had added it yet
