Hello, I recently spun up a Lemmy instance. It kind of works but I observe some weird behaviour. For example, searching communities works very randomly, some I found some I don’t and I don’t see any pattern. Sometimes I hit “search” and get 0 results but then I reload the page a results appear? Some other very popular communities in very popular servers I don’t find at all (even if those servers are in my “federate” list. What am I missing?

    The popular instances can take a long time to respond. There’s no feedback in the UI either, you click search and then eventually the result will appear. Depending on what you search for, your instance collects more data than what you’re actually searching for.

      The problem is that it doesn’t appear at all, I have been waiting for more than 10 minutes for this lemmy.ca community to appear in my local instance search but just doesn’t. lemmy.ca appears as linked instance though. Is there a way to “force refresh” or something?
