Hello! A new self-hoster of lemmy instance. I’ve confirmed fedi is working and able to return json result for my server.
However, I am only able to find users and/or communities if I manually search for them.
Is there some sort of propagation or sync that needs to occur in order for searched queries to correctly populate data from the fediverse? Cheers
No, lemmy currently does not implement any kind of syncing unsubscribed communities (but there should be an issue about cross instance search somewhere)
Though there is 3rd party script thst acts as an user of your instance and subscribes to multiple communities.
