Please be gentle as I am a total noob on this site and I’m still in the process of figuring out how any of this works.

Shortly after I joined, I created https://lemmy.world/c/breath_of_the_wild and I’ve been uploading my content from reddit to that community since then. Today I got a question from someone on kbin.social and I decided to check out this other instance(?) only to find out that “my community” is run by another dude over there: https://kbin.social/m/breath_of_the_wild@lemmy.world

I have no idea who this Earnest guy even is, but as you can see this is clearly 1:1 the content I posted to my own community. I’ve literally never spoken to him before. What’s that about?

    Huh, weird. When I click that link, it does show the community and the sidebar/rules, but not a single post. Is that supposed to happen?

      Federation is a bit weird, because I searched and discovered it yesterday it should start syncing new posts from that date for lemmy.ml.

        As long as it does start syncing eventually, that’s fine with me. I would just have found it weird to kinda “block” that particular community/magazine/etc. across all instances if the end users don’t even get access to the content.

        … but then again, the Fediverse is probably just overwhelmed ATM so things like these slow down for a while. It’ll probably get better once the dust settles a bit after the reddit exodus (reddodus? rexodus? exoddit? I can’t think of a good portmanteau)
