At least one person on each instance needs to search for it. (While logged in) This will make the instance "discover" your community.
They can either take the full url, https://lemmy.ml/c/skypictures or [email protected] and paste it in their instance's search bar.
They're working on making this a bit more automatic but for now that's how it is.
If this is true does this mean I need to create a second user for myself on my personal instance to get it to register other instances/communities? I can't find anything in search right now that isn't local, no matter how many times I search for something by keyword or URL. I'm loving Lemmy but the federation/cross-instance search is pretty opaque, which is frustrating.
I'm running my own instance and federation through search discovery is working fine for me. So maybe an unrelated issue
