Why are only SOME communities inaccessible on lemmy.world?

dysprosium@lemmy.dbzer0.com to /0@lemmy.dbzer0.com – 20 points –

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?

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
