It's possible nobody on your instance has requested this content yet. I don't recall the steps to do this but hopefully someone will be along with the answer.

2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason

I think it was
!communityname@instancename
So like
At least that worked for me, you might need to wait a little while and/or try two three times.
At the bottom right of every page, you can click on the "Instances" button (or just go to https://lemmy.zip/instances) to see what instances your site is federated with/is defederated from. lemmy.ml is under linked, so lemmy.zip is federating with them.
What you may be running into is that on this smaller instance, you may need to discover the communities:
These previous ways [searching for instances] will only show communities that are already known to the instance. Especially if you joined a small or inactive Lemmy instance, there will be few communities to discover. You can find more communities by browsing different Lemmy instances, or using the Lemmy Community Browser. When you found a community that you want to follow, enter its URL (e.g. https://feddit.de/c/main) or the identifier (e.g. !main@feddit.de) into the search field of your own Lemmy instance. Lemmy will then fetch the community from its original instance, and allow you to interact with it. The same method also works to fetch users, posts or comments from other instances.
(from the join-lemmy docs)
Each account is separate. You have to start over.
Also, you left the 2nd largest Instance for the 1st largest one. I think anyway.
OP is posting from lemmy.zip. I'm guessing it's smaller.
Gah, I missed that. Thank you.
no it is a smaller instance called lemmy.zip that I'm working on. for some reason i couldn't edit my post to to clarify that.
