So, I was curious and realized that for whatever reason, I can’t see my own community !nier@lemm.ee 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.

It’s possible that you’re the first person to search for your community on those instances. When you search for a community on instance A that hasn’t been searched for before from instance B, it takes awhile to search all of Lemmy to look for that community. Try again a few minutes later. I don’t know if that will help you, but I’ve seen that happen before.
I’m not too sure if it’d be a search issue considering I did try searching before I myself even made any accounts or communities.
It seems from testing and also trying an account on other instances that communities on Lemm.ee just doesn’t appear for most other instances for some reason. Lemmy.world works fine, but lemmy.ml and others seem to struggle. Blahaj Zone is a good example in that this community is the only lemm.ee community I can find, and it only shows posts from over two weeks ago.
Honestly, I’m not sure if that means it’s an issue with lemm.ee or other instances, but it certainly is a concern just because it limits heavily who can actually see the community.
