It works fine if I am using a lemmy.world based account, but for other instances it isn't working. It is not just for me either, other users are reporting the same thing. What can I do to fix this?

Just access the community while logged in to another instance; then it will be visible to search.

For example, it's over there: https://programming.dev/c/juggling@lemmy.world

And it's visible in their search: https://programming.dev/search?q=juggling&type=Communities

See the other message I have written - you should always recommend search. The URL only works if someone has already searched for that community. If you're on a big instance, that's almost always true, but on a smaller instance it often isn't.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !juggling@lemmy.world
