[Bug]: GetCommunity sometimes not working with remote communities
Summary
This is a bug I encountered while searching for new communities on browse.feddit.de. When I clicked on the link and they opened up in Jerbora the app got into a weird state and it didn't show the community. My home instance is lemmy.one but it happens on other instances too. GetCommunity returns
{ "error": "couldnt_find_community" }
A community I've seen this happen with is [email protected] but there are others.
Steps to Reproduce
- Perform a GET request on https://lemmy.one/api/v3/[email protected]
- Try the same with https://feddit.de/api/v3/[email protected] and it works
- This is also not working: https://infosec.pub/api/v3/[email protected]
Version
lemmy.one is on 0.17.3 and infosec.pub is on 0.17.4
Local only means that it is home to a server, not that it is accessible on only that server. This issue is still valid
Are you logged in when making these requests? Because a community only gets fetched from a remote server if the request is made by an authenticated user.
