      The link works for me currently. Someone else must have triggered federation for you.

        Thank you! It’s working for me now too.

        I’m still not getting how to force an instance to federate tho. I think I followed the instructions properly. Here’s what I did.

        1. I went to the link posted: https://lemmy/world/c/[email protected]. That clearly didn’t work at first.
        2. Clicking on “Communities”
        3. Searching for “[email protected]” (found no results)
        4. Searching for “kbin” which found [email protected]
        5. Went to [email protected] and was able to navigate it without any problems
        6. Went back to Communities and searched for “autism” which didn’t find [email protected] again.

        What step did I miss?

            Thank you! I’m kind of stupid sometimes. I bookmarked this comment for future reference.

              Nah this is NOT on you. It’s objectively confusing right now.

      Lemmy instances don’t pull content (and make the link work) until someone searches for the relevant community.
