I found this server via the join lemmy site and really like it, but noticed the communities here don’t appear on https://browse.feddit.de/ which seems to be the way most people are finding communities across other instances. I was wondering if that was deliberate, and if not how to get the mander.xyz communities listed so that those at other instances who are interested in the communities here might able to find them and participate.
Thank you for bringing that to my attention!
As far as I understand, the building of the instance list is automatic. It was possible to find instances from mander.xyz a few days ago, so what I think happened is that something about the instance caused it not to be recognized as an instance the last time that the database was filled. It may have been a one-time issue that will be corrected next time that the instance list is populated, or there could be some more problematic bug. I will reach out to the developer to see if they can help me sort this out, thanks!
Thanks for the prompt response! I think there’s some really cool communities here and just wanted to make sure people could find them.
It shows up now. I think the instance crawler may have tried to crawl over mander at time that the instance was not so response, and missed it
