Both instances are on each other's list of linked instances but I couldn't get there from here via search. I had to manually add in /c/[email protected] in the address bar and subscribe from there before it started showing up in search. Is that normal...?

It seems to work for me. It could be that it didn't work for you, because I just upgraded the instance to the latest Lemmy version. Maybe you tried to search in the very moment I did some backend work.

Let me know if it works for you now.

I am not subscribed to [email protected], but that one doesn't show up in community search.

Community content of "less popular" instances will show up in search once at least 1 person on this instance has subscribed to it.

I will add midwest.social to the seeder script on the server to have it periodically look up the most popular communities on there and subscribe to them automatically using a bot account, which has the same effect.

Oh I see, so that's by design... That list of instances is pretty long so I imagine an index of all their communities would be huge... and there's not separate "list of communities" and "posts within an instance" indices I assume? Is this something I should ask the lemmy devs about
