I actually manually added some discuss.onlime communities. If they were already on there, it wouldn't let me add them. So apparently it's not working.
Communities on Lemmy Federate are updated every 24-48 hours. You can re-add existing communities to force immediate update. So it's a valid action.

Thanks! After I updated my configuration, I saw that the communities were queued for processing. I'll keep an eye on it.
Thanks! I'll look into it and see if I can find anything amiss!
It was linked with fediseer and was configured to only work with endorsed instances. I've disabled the fediseer option. I hope it works better now!
