I’m trying to access this community from fedia.io:

https://sopuli.xyz/c/french

Searching for that URL or [email protected] yields nothing. If I manually visit this URL:

https://fedia.io/m/[email protected]

I get a 404.

btw, this post would be better suited in

https://fedia.io/m/[email protected]

but when I try to post there I get:

This page isn’t workingfedia.io is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500

Which makes this post herein relevant to the fedia magazine after all.

    I’ve noticed that a large number of communities on Lemmy.world aren’t visible here. You only get a 404. I’ve noticed this when looking at US state communities:

    https://fedia.io/m/[email protected] https://fedia.io/m/[email protected] https://fedia.io/m/[email protected] https://fedia.io/m/[email protected] https://fedia.io/m/[email protected] https://fedia.io/m/[email protected] https://fedia.io/m/[email protected]

    And I’m sure there are others. What’s weird is that some are visible, but others are not. There doesn’t seem to be any pattern that I can see.

          Ok. I don’t know why this works, but if you search for the magazine (ie search for [email protected]) it’ll return a result. After that, the links you posted starts working.

            Yes, it’s coming up now, but no content is being federated. So it is unfortunately showing up as an empty sub.

              Remote magazines only get new posts from the point in time when they are created locally. It won’t pull old posts off the originating server.

              Update: Maybe not. I thought that’s how it works but I see content in the Florida one. Curious. I don’t know then. ¯\(ツ)/¯

              Update 2: comment from e-five could explain how old posts show up on new communities.

                  Make sure to subscribe to communities you want. It’s not just searching for it and loading it, but if there are no local subscribers it won’t get updates (and the last subscriber unsubbing would put it in this situation).

                  This became a bit harder to tell ever since mbin switched to showing real subscriber numbers rather than local like kbin has. There is an active PR to try to address this issue so users are able to tell when data isn’t coming in

                    Thanks. That seems to resolve the issue. Though, for a lot of smaller communities, no one is going to subscribe to them here, effectively making them invisible here.

                    I mentioned in the adjacent post but if you do see magazines acting oddly, it could be there are no local subscribers. Hopefully we get a UI fix in soon with the PR I had mentioned, because it’s a bit of a bad user experience now. (I noticed world from lemmy world on debounced’s instance was getting no posts, or rarely a post with no likes, and subscribed, and suddenly everything came in fine.) So probably a good idea for people, if you want to see posts from somewhere, make sure to subscribe.

                    (This was technically always true, but a while back admins were auto subscribed so a magazine would always have 1 subscriber. That changed, and that change was even backported to kbin by ernest, so it should be like that back in kbin too for new magazines.)

                The Florida one does because I followed it and there has been posts since then

                  actually, I’m wrong - the posts that appeared after I followed it are weeks old. I can’t explain that.

                    It looks like someone from the remote liked it recently, which, and I’m channeling Benti here because I’m not as good at the AP side of things, announced to subscribers which brought it in here. At least that’s my best guess

            I can’t seem to get a result for [email protected]

            I searched for it in magazines. Do i need to search for it elsewhere?

            edit: Oh yeah, i guess i needed to search from just the main search. Found it.
