I found this community on browse.feddit.de and wanted to join it. When viewing the community from that link, I see dozens of posts. But when viewing it from lemmy.universe, I only see two.
I’ve seen a few different instances of this. For example, this post has 2 comments on lemmy.ml, but 1 comment when viewing through lemmy.world.
I’m very new to Lemmy and the Fediverse. What’s the issue here? Is this an issue with lemmy.world in particular, or Lemmy as a whole?
I do believe this is consequence of the levels of restriction the instances have. .lm and .world as well as beehaw are different Lemmy instances moderated differently by their respective mods, but being in Lemmy they can see and interact with each other UNLESS one if these instances restrict and moderates what can be accessed and seen from them, in this case .lm has bigger restrictions to the point people from other instances can’t subscribe to their communities or interact with their posts, adding to this the server is having several downtimes, causing the comments from .lm to disappear or don’t show up if viewing it from .world
UNLESS one if these instances restrict and moderates what can be accessed and seen from them, in this case .lm has bigger restrictions to the point people from other instances can’t subscribe to their communities or interact with their posts
These restrictions happen on a per comment or per post basis? I thought it’d be for entire communities or instances. It there any way to see what restrictions certain instances have in place?
It seems to me like my best option would be to switch from world to ml, correct me if I’m wrong. It looks like a tragedy of the commons situation.
I woukd stay on .social. Lm is having server problems and is lagging a lot lately, .social has good communities already, if you even get in .lm you can actually follow .social communities as well but I can’t guatantee your experience will be smooth at all
You mean .world and .ml?
.world does have a lot of communities, but a lot of them are smaller than the ones on other instances. For example, the linux community here has 2 posts. In comparison, !linux@lemmy.ml has 2000 posts. However, viewing that community from lemmy.world only shows me 200 posts.
