I registered with some smaller instances in case of server issues and defederation (beehaw) with lemmyworld. I noticed a community ctpsd@lemmy.ml that I follow from Lemmy.world is not viewable at all on lemm.ee or midwest.social for some reason. It does not come up in search and if I manually go to it’s empty. If I go to my Lemmy.world profile and look at “posts” from lemm.ee or Midwest.social, my post to that community is not there at all. Other Lemmy.ml communities work fine on all 3 instances.

Messing around with this type of thing I’ve also noticed that communities have different numbers based on what instance you view them from…the number of posts are different. Some newer or “trending” communities have no posts at all when viewed from Lemmy.world, but they do have posts and subscribers when viewed from another instance.

Is this a federation issue, or something stupid I’m doing possibly? A setting or a glitch? I’m worried that depending on the instance I use I will miss out on posts or communities that I don’t even know about.

Thanks

    Yeah could be. I have seen some other comments around that lemm.ee had some visibility issues going both ways with other instances.

    Still trying to understand how this works in the little details 😬
