Because lemmy.ml is the official instance meaning it was created by the developers of the people who created the backend for lemmy as well so people assume it would be the correct one to join.
Thankfully fediverse doesn’t work like that and in a few days I expect users to be spread around in instances more evenly.
I am now trying to go into the advanced stuff in Nuxt 3 but it I bummed out by its support unfortunately.
Nuxt 3 is waaaay better in terms of Dev Experience than Nuxt 2 but even though it released in Nov 2022 it still lacks official modules like Auth and PWA.
Especially Auth is kind of unacceptable to not exist for a framework build in 2023.
and they don’t show up in the lemmy community browser
Communities are not visible to other instances until some user manually adds them.
If you are on one instance and you have the link for a community of another instance, that does show in the first, just copy the entire url of the unknown community, paste it in the search field of the instance that doesn’t know about it and search for it. It will NOT show up the result, but you can then delete the url and search again by its name. You will see the community now appear because you just indexed it.
I just learned this today, so I am going to spread it wherever possible.
Down for me as well. Greece.
