Hi, for some reason I can’t reach Lemmy world communities through lemmy.ml even though the instances seem to be connected.
Lemmy.ml/c/vegan@lemmy.world gives me a 404 error while Lemmy.ml/c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world works fine.
Any idea why this might be?
Edit: Solved ✅ by @PorkrollPosadist:
Confirmed! I’ve seen that error as well. It seems there might be something wrong with the URL that the backend has issues with. You might want to file a bug over on GitHub.
I’ve seen the same behavior with external links to user comments.
I’m on lemmy.world and I had a 404 a few times just by loading the home page. It’s the server bugging out probably.
I bet it is under quite a bit of stress!

I don’t know, this is a very consistent problem for me.

If an instance has not yet discovered a community on another instance, you have to use the search function to find it. I just did a search for “!vegan@lemmy.world” it showed up, and I clicked on the link. Now lemmy.ml knows about this community and the original link won’t 404.
It would be cool if we got a more useful message instead of a 404 though.
