YSK About Trending Communities
[email protected] [/c/[email protected]] [https://feddit.nl/c/trendingcommunities] This is a bot driven community which scans subscriber counts daily and uses the difference to generate a list of trending communities. Great for discovering new, active and growing communities!
how can that be if others from this instance have already subscribed?
How certain are you that the community was already subscribed to? You may be the first person on your instance to subscribe there. If that’s the case you’ll only be seeing anything posted after you subscribed.
That is, unless Faceman is correct, in which case lemmy.world will eventually backfill content when it can.
For example, I’m seeing three posts there on both my instance and when I visit feddit.nl/c/trendingcommunities. I’m fairly sure that when I first subscribed I could only see the first post, but definitely not sure that’s the case.

Well I’m on lemmy.world, which I understand to be the largest instance, so I assumed someone would probably have subscribed before me.
lemmy.world/c/[email protected] still comes up empty for me, but on feddit.nl/c/trendingcommunities I can see three posts.
I’m also struggling to load some of the comments on this thread, they just keep loading endlessly. If lemmy.world needs to run some sort of process to fetch posts from federated instances then maybe these two issues indicate that the server is overloaded at the moment? Sorry for my cluelessness, I’m new to the fediverse.

I think the community is very new, so there’s a decent chance you were the first. As to the overloading problem, it’s certainly possible. Lemmy.world has a ton of users, and while I know ruud is dedicating a lot of resources to your lemmy instance, it just may not be enough to keep performance great. There’s been a lot of reports of performance problems by both lemmy.world users and federation problems between .world and other lemmy instances, most likely from being overloaded. You might try setting up a secondary account on another instance if you’re inclined, can’t hurt. Then at least you’ll be able to compare. Mine is on sh.itjust.works and everything has been pretty decent for me since the latest software upgrade, just as a point of reference.

No worries mate, we’re all new here. I’m still getting used to things too.
