What's up with some communities here having [community]@lemmy.world but not just [community]

DrYes@lemmy.world to Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world – 8 points –
10

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.

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.

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.

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.
