I created this community https://hilariouschaos.com/c/ComicStrips just a few hours back. When l'm trying to search for this community from this account and my other lemmy accounts, this particular community is not showing up. However, when I'm trying to make a post to this community by copy pasting the URL in this body section, it's landing me directly on the page and accepting my post as that of the moderator's, which is me of course.

Can anybody please tell me what is wrong over here ?

Thank you for getting back to me. In this thread, if you scroll, l have learnt that many instances have defederated from hilariouschaos. Now I don't know the history, but since I deal with comics, l do hope that users from other instances can access the contents easily. Thanks once again.

It's true, some instances do de-federate us. Not all, hence I can talk to you here, but some do.

As an instance we do not suppress content based on political views, and this rubs many people the wrong way. I can't change what they do and I can't change their minds either, so it is what it is unfortunately.

Just 1 more request.... Now that you're sure that l'm not a bot but very much a human being like you, please allow me to post as many comics as possible in the community, as l have a lot of back up to make. And l do hope that from your end, my content gets federated.

People are not very kind to my content 😔😔, even though they're not of the typical nsfw category 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴

Definitely, post as much as you like, it will federate automatically to all the linked instances.

A word of advice is to stagger the content a bit (e.g. give it 10-20 minutes between posts) - I personally don't care but other admins might perceive posting too much, too quickly as spam. You or your community can still be banned locally on other instances.

I can understand that. I've been facing a lot of criticisms for posting comics like Archies. Many people have complained that l'm running a bot account on programming.dev and also on ml. The admin of programming.dev wrote to me personally, but the admin of ComicsStrips@sh.itjust.works banned my programming.dev account

Is the community l have created on your instance found in the search bar here ?

People can be pretty quick to jump the trigger on this stuff, I got a report about you being a bot too. It's all a bit silly.

Yes it can, I can see it pop up in the lemmy.world search just fine. Federation is a bit wonky at first but now that it has been linked, it should be relatively smooth sailing.
