New to the fediverse in general, but an exile from Reddit trying something new. I want to join a community, !comedybangbang@lemmy.world, but it doesn’t show up in searches, and pasting it into the URL just gives me a “not found“ page (whereas, another community that I tested, aww@lemmy.world worked). My meager understanding of lemmy/piefed/fediverse is that all lemmy.world content should also be available on piefed.social. Is that incorrect? Is there no way to join this community through piefed?

    Clicking the link that was generated in my post actually got me to the community and I was able to join it. I’m still not sure why it didn’t come up in searches. If somebody could shed some light on that, I would appreciate it

    Because it was not federated to piefed.social. Communities made externally need to be manually pulled in and grabbed by users like how you did it.

    At this point, Piefed.social has most communities - but apparently not all.
