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

        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/autism@kbin.social. That clearly didn’t work at first.
        2. Clicking on “Communities”
        3. Searching for “autism@kbin.social” (found no results)
        4. Searching for “kbin” which found asklemmy@kbin.social
        5. Went to asklemmy@kbin.social and was able to navigate it without any problems
        6. Went back to Communities and searched for “autism” which didn’t find autism@kbin.social again.

        What step did I miss?
