Example: if I search “Overwatch” and sort by Communities, I’ll get 0 results.
I know Overwatch communities exist and have no idea why Im getting 0 results. I confirmed that lemmy.film is not defederated with the instance that hosts the various communities.

Use lemmyverse.net, set your home instance there (home icon), then search
This works, thanks!
Happy to help!
If no one on your instance manually opened the community it won’t be shown in search.
And yes, I think that needs to be fixed ASAP.
By opened do you just mean browsed it at all by manually typing in the URL?
Yes, or searched for the full name including instance url
I searched !overwatch@lemmy.world and no results still, am I doing something wrong?
Sometimes you need to actually try a few times, or go to /c/overwatch@lemmy.world on your instance and refresh it after 10 seconds
