Like when i look at communties it doesn’t show other big ones out there. And also all the subscribed counts are super duper off. On top of that all doesn’t even seem to see some of the biggest posts of the day from across lemmy. Anyone know whats uyo with that?

    So, all updated - the issue is that Lemmy (currently) does not pull older posts or other metadata from a community from another server until a subscription is made to that community/server.

    So when you join a community from another server, you’re not going to see a lot, until that server “pushes” new posts to yall.theatl.social

    That behavior may change with software changes, but it is what it is for now. The same issue occurs on Mastodon too. If you are on a larger server, you won’t have this issue, because it’s likely that larger server has been receiving posts all along.
