FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

That’s because I’m pretty sure Federation is currently turned off for this website. The Fediverse is confusing enough for folks but even worse when the owner of this instance has turned it off without some large stickied announcement.
I believe this is currently functioning as just a standalone website. At least it was a couple days ago. I don’t know if he’s fixed it yet.
Federation is enabled on Kbin now.
Pro tip: saying things like "this site" without context means nothing, since your comment can be seen by people on other instances. If you hover on someone's username, the full context including what instance they are coming from will be revealed. The comment you replied to is actually coming from lemmy.fmhy.ml and the other reply to that came from lemmy.world.
