@simpleliving I just created a Lemmy account to follow, but realised that I have a new Mastodon account as well. But when searching from Mastodon, you guys don't com (mastodon.social)

@simpleliving I just created a Lemmy account to follow, but realised that I have a new Mastodon account as well. But when searching from Mastodon, you guys don't come up, only if I search from Lemmy's server. Am I doing something wrong?

I've had the same problem trying to search for other smallish communities from Mastodon (although not all, can't actually figure out the pattern just yet).

What I've found is that after searching for them (format @simpleliving@lemmy.ml) and getting no results, if I come back a few hours later and searching again they then do seem to show up? Almost like Mastodon just has a really long delay for pulling in new communities.

It's not much immediate help but it might be worth checking again in a bit.

Edit: for anyone else confused, this seems to be one of those threads that only lets you reply if you explicitly select a language

I too had troubles submitting a response from my Lemmy app (Memmy). @inasaba@lemmy.ml , won't you add "Unspecified" as an authorized language in this community ?

Last time I had this problem the thread was started by someone on Kbin. This time it was someone on Mastodon. I'm wondering if there's some weirdness between community settings and external posts, where certain combos just don't quite work right.

It's a Kbin problem.
