    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.

    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.

    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.
