Are some instances/communities closed off from others? - Lemmy.world
Still trying to get my bearings here. My account is through Lemmy.World and when
I visit the Movies and TV community through
lemmy.world/c/[email protected], I only see a few posts. But when I visit
https://lemmy.film/c/moviesandtv [https://lemmy.film/c/moviesandtv], there’s a
lot more activity. Did I mess something up in my settings or is this normal? Do
I need to have multiple accounts for other instances? Thanks, y’all.
lemmy.world has been defederated at least by beehaw.org. If you want to participate there you will indeed have to make an account in another instance. IDK about other instances though. Also sometimes posts don't propagate to other instances since population here just exploded. Lemmy's software stack is being developed to handle the higher demand better.
It would be cool to have some sort of federation map, that shows which communities have federated and which have not. Maybe it already exists?
Ah, thanks. Looks like beehaw.org is still federated with lemmy.world, but just in one direction since at https://beehaw.org/instances lemmy.world is in the blocked list.
