So I just downloaded Liftoff and found a couple of communities on an instance I’d never heard of before, and I decided that I wanted to subscribe to them on my lemmy.ml profile. We are federated, and when I view the communities through the main instance I see a bunch of posts and subscribers, but when I try to view them through lemmy.ml it says there is 1 subscriber (me) and no posts. I tested this on my mobile browser. Jerboa, and Liftoff all with the same result.
Is this one of those cases where it’s a bug and will sort itself out, or am I doing something wrong? I don’t wanna miss out potentially cool communities if they just aren’t coming up for me
Ah I see, I didn’t know that an update to a post needed to be made, that makes sense. The instance isn’t blocked, but I’ll try the post link suggestion and fiddle around to see if that can help populate everything. Thanks for your response!
I tried searching for a post link in my instances search and nothing came up. I’ve had this issue with jerboa too, and I think in the browser, where I try to do !community@instance.ee or whatever and it won’t come up, it almost never works for me. but if I type the name of the instance simply, it will populate. I must be doin something funky
