Why are only SOME communities inaccessible on lemmy.world?
I can access c/world on lemmy.world without problem:
lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/world@lemmy.world
But I cannot access c/whatstheword:
lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/whatstheword@lemmy.world
It seems unlikely that this specific and innocent community is blocked on either instance.
What's going on here?

Sometimes it has to do with if a user from your instance subscribes to the community
You're on a small instance where most of the users I see are brand new troll accounts, I don't think there's very many active users who maintain accounts and subscribe to communities.
So there's probably lots your not seeing.
You may want to think of migrating to another instnace. Doesn't have to be world, but it sounds like your problems is due to a low user base on your instance.
yeah well I also don't wanna join a big and slow instance like lemmy.world. Also, the theming options on dbzer0 are the best.
But it seems like this problem won't ever go away for small instances, unless someone "pokes" it, i.e. goes to the community. (Subscribing is kinda hard considering it's still inaccessible)
Yeah, I mean a solution would be a bot that just crawled World and subscribed to anything with more than X users/posts/whatever.
Then it would pull all those communities into your instances feed.
At least I think? I'm like 90% sure that's how it works.
rather want a solution involving changes in the code of lemmyverse itself, if I could be so ego
Lol, what? db0 is a medium sized instance ran by one of the former /r/piracy admins when they jumped ship during the exodus, and it's reasonably active with a decent amount of real users and a very active owner.
World is by far the largest instance by a huge margin. It is such an outlier that it effectively should be disregarded in comparisons with other instances.
I was the top mod in-fact ;)
You wanna back up that statement with a fact or two?
Here's an example example from your post history

You're saying that piracy is competition to record industries
Like sure, they're exploitive and greedy, but how the fuck can anyone compete with the exact same product but the price is zero?
Only a troll would present that as a valid opinion.
Same with selioning on a 3 day old comment, so obviously I'm blocking as soon as I hit submit.
Lol ok I get where you are coming from now, dipshit.
Edit: Commenter did not provide any supporting evidence for brand new troll accounts on our instance, because there aren't any. Clearly, they don't like piracy though, so I've done them a favor and removed dbzer0 from their feed.
