I can't seem to find my community from other instances. (lemmy.ml)

I created a community few hours ago [email protected] on lemmy.ml. It currently has two post and two subscribers. I wanted to check if it is discoverable through search. While you can find the community through this home instance, but it doesn't show up through others like beehaw.org or browse.feddit.de.

Do I need to do something manually? Or it would do the indexing(?) on its own? If so, it would be great if someone tells me how much time it generally takes. Thanks.

At least one person on each instance needs to search for it. (While logged in) This will make the instance "discover" your community.

They can either take the full url, https://lemmy.ml/c/skypictures or [email protected] and paste it in their instance's search bar.

They're working on making this a bit more automatic but for now that's how it is.
