I just searched for this community, as I wanted to link to their starting guide from my instance. I searched for !lemmyworld@lemmy.world via my instance’s search option, and now while I can visit it, it always appears empty.

    Federation takes time. I had the same problem federating content to my instance, but it should start to populate eventually. If you control the instance, you might try upping your worker count. It defaults to 64. I set mine to 128 and it seems to be doing better, and lemmy.ml just set theirs to 512.

      Yep I saw that as well, although the worker count should be proportional to how much content is being added to your instance, instead of how much is being received from others. So since my instance doesn’t have a lot of activity yet, 64 is ok, but if lemmy.world has a ton of it (which seems likely) they need to buff that up on their end.
