    Hey guys, I just made an account here after hearing that making an account on the lemmy instance nearer your location would improve loading times. It is true loading speeds are great but I am seeing only few of the communities from other instances. For example I can’t find the !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world over here on monyet.cc Why is that so?

      The federation is quite wonky so you ought to try typing the whole url in the search bar, and try it a few times. First time i do this i tried searching for woodworking on lemmy world, have to try refreshing a few times before it connect.

      Iirc someone mentioned that they have to copy the other instance into this server so you could visit it, maybe that’s the reason it couldn’t connect because it hasn’t done copying yet. But once you done so, other people will have easier time visiting that community.
