I can access c/world on lemmy.world without problem:

lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/world@lemmy.world

But I cannot access c/whatstheword:

lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/whatstheword@lemmy.world

It seems unlikely that this specific and innocent community is blocked on either instance.

What's going on here?

    how do I interact with a community I cannot connect to?

    are you using the website, or an app? i can see the community, but not the posts (presumably because they aren't synced) (forgot i have lemmy.world blocked).

    do you not see the community landing page at all? is there no 'subscribe' button? subscribing is the best way to trigger the sync job; i could try doing it for you, but i want to see if it's possible for you to do it first.

        whoops, i forgot i have lemmy.world blocked. i don't see comments or posts from that instance.

        still tho, i wasn't getting the undiscovered 404 on dbzer0.

      there was no subscribe button. Now it's working, as per top comment. On lemdro.id it is still unreachable: copy and paste the following in your browser (do not click, it may be split into two, which is hardly noticeable) https://lemdro.id/c/whatstheword@lemmy.world

      EDIT: browser, FF

        i don't know about lemdroid. federation could be backlogged for aforementioned reasons.

        the link you gave works fine for me in Firefox: clicking, dragging or pasting. the 404 likely indicates that lemdroid hasn't discovered that community yet; probably because it's still waiting to finish asking lemmy.world about it.

          are you sure about that? on FF if I click on the first part of the link it redirects me to lemdroid, but clicking the part after the /c/, redirects me to dbzer0. Also different part of the link lights-up when hovering over it
