Since LBRY is a Peer-to-Peer network, it requires that your device is accessible to the internet. LBRY also runs servers to assist in content hosting, but this process may fail if your device cannot send it to us or if you didn't wait long enough after the initial publish. Try quitting (ctrl-Q) and restarting the LBRY app if the content is not accessible on [lbry.tv](https://lbry.tv).
