So, I was curious and realized that for whatever reason, I can’t see my own community [email protected] on lemmy.ml or Blahaj Zone. I can see it if I try using lemmy.world, but not the others. My comments at least show up.
Is this a bug with the federation difficulties or is it one of those problems of being defederated?
Some examples of my profile. Posts should have more than just the game development one I made since I’ve done posts to the community made on this instance.

Correct. The way federation works (as it was explained to me) is that just creating a community does not by itself propagate that community to all federated instances. Most likely, this is a measure against overloading all servers by spam-creating instances. It can still be found by that full-name search with exclamation mark. As soon as anyone on your instance subscribes to that community, it will connect to that instance and should be searchable normally from others on it and posts made in that community should now populate the All feed on that instance etc.
Also I think you’re right about the exclamation point search not working on WefWef, should probably notify the developer.
