For anyone unaware, a community’s outbox typically contains the last 50 or so Post Announcements - it is retrieved when you are the first person to find a community on a remote instance. It also seems to be fetched whenever an community on a remote instance realizes it’s out of sync with the community on its host instance.
Compare:
curl --header 'accept: application/json' https://lemmy.world/c/memes | jq -r .outbox
=> https://lemmy.world/c/memes/outbox
curl --header 'accept: application/json' https://lemmy.world/c/memes/outbox | jq .
{
"error": "unknown",
"message": "Record not found"
}
with
curl --header 'accept: application/json' https://lemmy.world/c/linuxmemes | jq -r .outbox
=> https://lemmy.world/c/linuxmemes/outbox
curl --header 'accept: application/json' https://lemmy.world/c/linuxmemes/outbox | jq .orderedItems[0]
{
"id": "https://lemmy.world/activities/announce/create/0223f939-aafc-4215-9c20-a3460c967f63"
... (the rest of the most recent post from linux memes)
}
(I came across this randomly, so I don’t know if ‘memes’ is the only community missing an outbox. Others I’ve tried have been OK though)

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected], [email protected]
