Problem reaching Lemmy.world communities (lemmy.ml)

Hi, for some reason I can't reach Lemmy world communities through lemmy.ml even though the instances seem to be connected.

Lemmy.ml/c/vegan@lemmy.world gives me a 404 error while Lemmy.ml/c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world works fine.

Any idea why this might be?

If an instance has not yet discovered a community on another instance, you have to use the search function to find it. I just did a search for "!vegan@lemmy.world" it showed up, and I clicked on the link. Now lemmy.ml knows about this community and the original link won't 404.

It would be cool if we got a more useful message instead of a 404 though.

Thanks, I had no idea. I did try the search function but I didn’t use the “!”, so that was probably the problem.
