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.
Do we know if this can be fixed with an upcoming news release of Lemmy?
Already fixed, but not yet released.
I don’t know shit about Lemmy but I think you can’t create a community unless logged into that instance.
I also get a “subscribe pending” on /c/[email protected] but all other communities seem to subscribe quickly.
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.
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.
It does look like the admins will have to address this judging by the GitHub issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3075
