I’m getting no results when I search on monero.house for a community that lives in another lemmy instance. Why?
According to the documentation:
You can find more communities by browsing different Lemmy instances…When you found a community that you want to follow, enter its URL (e.g. https://feddit.de/c/main) or the identifier (e.g. !main@feddit.de) into the search field of your own Lemmy instance. Lemmy will then fetch the community from its original instance, and allow you to interact with it.
I did this on our monero.house instance (eg searching for https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy or https://lemmygrad.ml/c/worldnews), but I get no results

Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong?
Note that I’ve also tried searching for them using the bang syntax
In all cases I just get
No results.Comment from reddit: The entire reason why Ive set up the house instance was ptsd from moderating ai-bot comments on reddit so I really wanted to only have verified humans on there. I dont think there is a way to block people from unverified instances to comment so I’ve been very selective with which communities we federate (I also had no idea of how server-resource-usage would look if you federate with a lot of others).
I would be open to federate with more instances if those concerns can get cleared up :) (so that is probably the reason, we aren’t federated with many other instances)
Good, please keep this house clean :)
It is a little bit empty right now but the party is just getting started x)
