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?

    Lemmy is not scaling well, even with 0.18, and a lot of federation activity is timing out or otherwise failing. There are a few open GItHub issues: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3203

    Lemmy.ml, Lemmy.world, Beehaw.org - are often ones that give the most trouble. Try small ones and confirm it isn’t every server.
