could it be that they were made by someone from a different instance? so on their end it specified lemmy.world but then resulting in that specification for everyone.
This has happened to a bunch of the communities I created on Lemmyworld. I’ve been trying to ask for help - have created some threads about it and tried DMing the admins - but have never gotten a reply. Not sure what recourse I have, but I get a lot of DMs from users telling me it’s broken.

Its a bug. I caused this to happen with one pf my communities by editing it with a remote account.
This causes it to get stuck in a state where its no longer marked as a local community.
This also breaks federation.

Do we know if this can be fixed with an upcoming news release of Lemmy?

Already fixed, but not yet released.

That does not sound good

I don't know shit about Lemmy but I think you can't create a community unless logged into that instance.

That's a lemmy bug..
Somehow the 'local' community gets the hostname extension and it won't federate or search well anymore

I hope it can get fixed in the DB or somewhere because I feel like asklemmy will be one of the bigger communities.

I also get a "subscribe pending" on /c/asklemmy@lemmy.world but all other communities seem to subscribe quickly.

It does look like the admins will have to address this judging by the GitHub issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3075

The first one seems like an error

Looks like the fix for this is implemented in release 0.18. We just need to wait for all the instances to upgrade.
