I'd love to join but I can't even find it from Reddthat -.-
The disconnect between servers is fast turning out to be Lemmy's biggest problem tbh

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.

I can’t access it either! https://beehaw.org/c/childfree@lemmy.world gives me a “404: no such community” or something. I’d love to join if I could.
The servers need a bit of time to sync up, especially with these new communities. I am keeping a small text doc to try again later with when they don't work. The more people participate, the more the servers will "talk" and sync. It's early growing pains. I noticed it on Mastodon, but it sped up after more people joined.
Does it work if you search for !childfree@lemmy.world? It should then index it.
Edit: I just noticed there's something weird about this community. It can only be accessed via https://lemmy.world/c/childfree@lemmy.world but not https://lemmy.world/c/childfree. That might be the problem?
Is it possible the community is literally named that with the @ suffix included? And that confuses other Lemmy instances?
It seems like it, yes.
I think it also confuses the lemmy instance it's on. If you search for lemmy.world in the communities on lemmy.world you see it says "Lemmy.world", but if you search for childfree instead the supposed suffix is shown despite it being on the same instance.
However if you go to the community directly and click on the Link below the title that says !childfree@lemmy.world you end up at https://lemmy.world/c/childfree which is 404.
It doesn't for me (from lemmy.sdf.org). Odd thing going on here.
In general with Lemmy I don't understand why links to communities can't open in your local webapp. The little dance of navigating through search seems like it shouldn't be necessary technically.
same on Beehaw
Same for feddit.de. I get the same 404 error and the community does not appear in any search list. :<
