I did a search from shitjustworks for "reddit die" and did not find https://lemmy.world/c/watchredditdie so I made https://sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie (unnecessarily). This should really not happen. When someone makes a community there should be a "ping" sent out to notify all other federated instances.

And from what I know, if I post to !sh.itjust.works/c/watchredditdie only users on sh.itjust.works will see the posts until other people from other instances randomly come across it somehow and subscribe? This really needs to be improved.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !watchredditdie@lemmy.world, !watchredditdie@sh.itjust.works

And this is another issue which hinders discoverability. It's nice there are tools and workarounds but their existence also signals the issue exists.

You can browse by instance on swift.

I really don't know how this is supposed to catch on, to be honest.
