So why does this instance seem wonky?
So why does this instance seem wonky?
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?
Hello, @[email protected] ! @michael (admin) here - Lemmy is decentralized, which means that communities that have the same name (such as "technology") can be located on multiple servers - each with their own subscribers and subscriber counts.
If you view the list of communities and click the "All" option, you'll see all the communities on all the servers with which yall.theatl.social's users have subscribed.
So this is more complexity than Reddit, of course. That's by design. For now, the use case I'm trying to cultivate on here is local/Atlanta stuff.
Going forward, there needs to be better content/user/community discovery through globally searchable lists and communities. This should be coming in short order, it seems, as others develop on this platform.
I know what lemmy is man. The issue is if i go to say [email protected] it shows 0 subscribers and posts from 20 days ago. It seems like yall.theatl.social have a server that is not syncing
I really appreciate you looking into this more. Sounds like to help out I have to be more active and subscribe to more places via this instance. Thanks again for taking the time. I really appreciate the explanation
Glad to do so! Appreciate the questions and glad everything was sorted out.
