Just type lemmy.ml/c/communityname@lemmy.world while logged in at lemmy.ml
Do a refresh if it gives you an error the first time.
Same thing, refreshed, says community_not_found, try again later or go to Lemmy Matrix/Support
Any other suggestions? I have been trying for several days so I doubt trying again later would help
Would give me the name of the communities to give it a try?
Someone from another instance needs to subscribe to communities on your instance before they show up.
If nobody from Lemmy.ML subscribed to your communities, they won't show up there. You should be able to go to them directly with
Lemmy.ML/c/@
Edit: They may use a different directory than /c/; use whatever format the instance would normally use for a community URL, just remember to add the @instancename after the community. You may also need to put an exclamation point (!) At the beginning of the community name. Every instance seems to be just a little bit different in this regard.
Then you can subscribe to them with an account on Lemmy.ml.
Confirming that this is the way it works (at least on kbin). I just did a test run with militaria_collecting@lemmy.world on Kbin.social. At first it doesn't show up and I get a 404. I then follow @Spec_OpsFive (who does exist on kbin.social via this thread that was federated there), and search again - it now shows a newly created magazine (aka community) with no posts, and I'm allowed to sub:
https://kbin.social/m/militaria_collecting@lemmy.world
So yeah, someone has to subscribe to either the user or the magazine for the instance to start recording content from it. Once that initial step is in play, your instance records the incoming posts from the federated community.
Returns a 404. It doesn’t work on lemm.we either, probably due to the same reasons. I have tried that instance too, isn’t working. Any other suggestions?
Worked, thanks. How do I make sure people from other instances can search for my communities? Do I have to create accounts on every single one and search?

Is it just visited or also subscribed?
Do they actually need to subscribe or do they just need to search it up?
I'm on a smaller server that has quite a few 0 subscriber instances.
Just search
!community@instance
defederation?
That was my first thought, but I think they federated Lemmy.world after the hack or Lemmy.ml? Do I need to get my communities federated even though it’s on a federated instance?
Definitely a problem on Lemmy.worlds part. Just created a lemm.ee account and still can’t see my communities.
Same on Lemmy.ml again
