Loadmii not showing in HBC?

apps (root of SD card) > loadMii

I then went to the HBC and it isn't showing up there. What am I supposed to do?

What does it look like inside the Loadmii folder?

Everything that comes from a download, nothing was moved around or touched.

Folders: source, include, build, and .git
The rest: README, Makefile, loadMii.elf, and loadMii.dol

you can delete everything apart from loadmii.dol, which should be renamed to boot.dol. Then it will show up (deleting everything else isn't essential, there's just no point keeping unnecessary files there).

That got it to show up, but it then says it's not a valid application.

I tried again with everything in the file and only renamed loadmii.dol to boot.dol but then the HBC greeted me with a black screen and I could do nothing.

I then tried again, once again renaming loadmii.dol to boot.dol and deleting only the .elf, and the HBC became accessible again. It still says the application is not valid.

In all cases when the HBC is accessible, the Loadmii application lacks an icon and description. Could be because source/include/build/.git are folders? There are many folders within folders in them.

try deleting the dol and renaming loadmii.elf to boot.elf instead (HBC should load any properly made ELF or DOL, sounds like there is some problem with the DOL if your case)

EDIT: And it lacks an icon and description because it has no icon.png or meta.xml. As the names suggest, icon.png provides the icon and meta.xml the description/name/author/etc. Look at some other homebrew to understand the format of these files (icon.png needs to be a certain resolution, meta.xml is a fairly standard XML file with certain tags) and you can make them if you want. (Or try and find some someone else has made). Their absence (or presence) will not affect the operation of the app.

Not a valid application. >_<

Loadmii isn't designed to be loaded from HBC, why are you trying to do that?

I haven't looked into making it its own channel. I will look into it.

It's not designed for that either, it's designed to be loaded directly from an exploit. But as I should probably have mentioned before; there is no point in loading it when you have HBC installed. HBC will run any app LoadMii will.
