Missing Communities?

Why is it that I can find the dogs community lemmy.world with over 2k subscribers while the same community does not appear when I search from vlemmy?

Hey, you should be able to search for it, this may help you: https://lemdit.com/post/18035

I am able to find it from vlemmy:

Note that it won't show up in the search results if you are not logged in.

Basically the community shows up when I search from worlds as over 1k subs but just 9 from vlemmy. I guess that is the number of local subs from each instance?

Yep, it’s how many are subscribed from your instance.

Yes, it just means that there are 9 people from vlemmy that have subbed to that community. This bit is a bit confusing, for example if nobody had subbed to it yet from vlemmy then it would show 0 subs.

You are right. Maybe it is an app issue? Let me see if I can figure out how to post a screenshot

This is a support question and would fit better at !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

Awesome photo!

It would be great as my other account on vlemmy seems faster and loads quicker but is missing stuff!

It mustn’t be federated. Or not searching right.

Try propagation if the url. Instead of searching.
