!math@lemmy.sdf.org, for example. Doesn’t appear in the Communities>All page. I also tried to look up the webtoon community that is hosted here in lemmy.sdf.org (Communities>All again), and it doesn’t appear. Why is that the case?

      Basically each community that’s remotely federated has to be done so manually otherwise lemmy does not know they exist. Linking to the community on your local instance while logged in in the search screen will attempt to establish a federation connection to that community and will pull in old posts as it can (to a degree, it does not pull the entire backlog). It’s strange and annoying, but solutions are currently being figured out.
