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/moviesandtv@lemmy.film, I only see a few posts. But when I visit 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.

      Ah, retroactive federation makes a lot of sense. Thank you so much for your detailed response, it’s a great ELI5!

      lol ok. so if I’m reading right: members of the Reddit v Mod Refugee’s club is giving lemmy and kbin.social the old slashdot effect. And to keep the server from protesting the enormous number of newbies coming. The server admins decided to unlink from other servers who were like: uh what’s up bro our instance are being spammed. and kbin.social said: : uuuuh, er uuuh helpme. ok let me turn of content sharing and check the logs.
      But you say things should get better?
      I’m guessing the specific dates it struggled were around the saturday to monday.

      Sorry if this is a silly question but. Let’s say I have an account on kbin, and kbin hasn’t been federated with instance B yet. I would need to subscribe to a community from instance B and from that point on they would be federated right? But how would I even subscribe if kbin can’t see any communities from instance B before they are federated?
