    Hey guys, I just made an account here after hearing that making an account on the lemmy instance nearer your location would improve loading times. It is true loading speeds are great but I am seeing only few of the communities from other instances. For example I can’t find the !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world over here on monyet.cc Why is that so?

      when searching for communities, watch out for the couldnt_find_object error, that can mean you’ve got the url syntax wrong, usually (also the error doesn’t appear every time, and I’ve only seen it in the browser not apps, but when it does you should double check the url)

      The federation is quite wonky so you ought to try typing the whole url in the search bar, and try it a few times. First time i do this i tried searching for woodworking on lemmy world, have to try refreshing a few times before it connect.

      Iirc someone mentioned that they have to copy the other instance into this server so you could visit it, maybe that’s the reason it couldn’t connect because it hasn’t done copying yet. But once you done so, other people will have easier time visiting that community.

          yeah yesteday when I posted this comment I couldn’t find it but now I do. Btw, are there any plans of upgrading money.cc to new lemmy version? I really like the new top sorting features of the new update and wish we have it here!

            there was a short discussion about the upgrade over here, and based on dcx’s response the admins are planning to upgrade.

            what’s not decided yet is whether monyet.cc will wait for lemmy 0.18.1 to be officially released, or jump onto a release candidate like what lemmy.world and quite a number of other instances have done.
