No idea how I got there but somehow I saw this post somehow on sh.itjust.works, about a prefab house that was found floating in the Pacific. I wanted to comment but the only login I have is on lemmy.world. Notice the post is from The Picard Maneuver, whose posts I've seen many times, and it says lemmy.world above their name.
Lemmy.world has a whitepeopletwitter community but the newest post is 2 months old. This one is from 10 hours ago. Search on the lemmy.world main page for "Minding" turns up a bunch of posts going back months, but this one isn't there.
I thought I understood how federation works but I'm stumped. Is this really a lemmy.world post? If not, what does the presence of "lemmy.world" on it indicate?
on lemmy.world, click -> communities then click -> All then in the search box type 'white'
its the first option that pops up
heres an screenshot of the lemmy.world view of the above
Interesting. When I search for "white" the "People Twitter" community on sh.itjust.works does not come up. Also doesn't if I search for "Twitter". Note that the results include communities on other instances, but not sh.itjust.works. No idea why my search and your search would be different.
weird. no idea what drives the search then.
the direct link to that community is https://lemmy.world/c/whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works
fyi, you can link with a ! to instances, and they get automatically converted to local user instance links:
!whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works
