When I view the community through the lemmy instance I’m using, I’m seeing no posts there. I guess this is a problem related to vlemmy but just putting it out here if someone else is having the same problem and is confused https://vlemmy.net/c/[email protected]
edit: now it shows the reddit threads there, so probably as I understand vlemmy hadn’t seen them yet (as no one in vlemmy had been accessing the community yet) and it took it some hours(?) to sync the stuff from another instance.
as of now, how much resources the server hosting an instance requires, how much perhaps if content and instances double the size? Is that a burden for other instances to have a yet another instance to sync with? if people self-hosted instances for one or a few people only would that make sense?
I’ll add for what it’s worth I’m having ‘pending’ on many communities I have tried to join some 4-7 days ago maybe, but yeah I’ll wait.
Your demonstration is not showing up on jerboa for lemmy app nor with mobile bromite browser. Everything that’s inside ()'s doesn’t show. I can see it after I click reply hmmm
edit: works now thanks:) also I swear the sidebar links at that suomi community I mentioned didn’t use that way of linking before but now the links take me to vlemmy 👀
maybe if you’re a federation citizen, but for a redditor klingon, it’s about the empire!
Is there a way to add links to communities so that the domain part gets its data based on from where the end-user is viewing the website? For example if I view this finnish community that shows related communities on its sidebar, the links takes to their homeserver and I can’t subscribe from there https://vlemmy.net/c/[email protected]
Instead the links on the sidebar should take to https://vlemmy.net/c/<community name>@<host> right?
Why are people making multiple communities with the same topic on different servers and all of them having only few users? Wouldn’t it be better that only one community is made per topic and everyone would go there? For example there are 3 star trek communities and 2 star trek the next generation communities, or there are 5 ufo/ufos communities
There are two things slowing down the migration. One is the “network effect” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect (which is really strong in reddit) and other is the confusion and bugginess of Lemmy right now as lemmy is still in its infancy. Decentralization makes this a bit confusing to use and it doesn’t help that some posts etc are not showing up due to bugs or lack of features so you are not sure if the problem is you or lemmy but regardless of all that, federation is better than the reddit empire so we’re on the right track
