I noticed that new communities added to lemmy.world are showing up on browse.feddit.de and lemmy.ml but not here… for example, this community seems to be 12 days old and still not appearing in the search here:
https://lemmy.world/c/penguins
Additionally, my subscriptions to the lemmy.world communities that do show up here have been stuck “Pending Subscription” for days, and unsubscribing/re-subscribing doesn’t help.
I know there’s a lot of known issues but I wasn’t sure if there was a specific connection problem with this particular instance since I don’t really seem able to interact with it.
Then it is servers dropping peer to peer communications, timeouts or other problems because of overload.
