Can't access some communities on other instances through here, even though I can access other communities on those instances. (self.discuss)

Hello! Was hoping to make discuss.online my new home instance, but I'm having trouble accessing some communities on other instances:

They don't show up in communities search, and trying to go to them directly returns a server error page, with an error message given like:

FetchError: invalid json response body at http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/post/list?community_name=rpgcreation%40ttrpg.network&page=1&limit=20&sort=Active&type_=All

I can access other communities on all of those instances...

... so I know it's not an issue with them being blocked, but it seems like they're not being fully federated either?

Anything I can do on my end to further investigate or attempt a workaround?

Thanks, they are all showing up now. Previously they weren't showing up in search either, so there wasn't a way for me to subscribe to them; from discuss.online's point of view it seemed as if they simply didn't exist. Maybe after searching for them / trying to visit them, that triggered something in the backend to pull them in?

Yep, basically that’s how Lemmy works. Until someone visits it, the instance doesn’t know it exists.
