Not sure if it’s just early instance issues, but posts from other instances don’t seem to be loading comments. Number of comments for active communities seem very low.

    I do see that community as existing, but Lemmy will only federate posts and comments if at least one local user is subscribed to a community - and no one was subscribed to !android@lemmy.world. I subscribed to it and we started receiving newer posts and comments.

      Interesting. So I will have to subscribe to the communities individually before I can access their content

        If no one else on the server is subscribed, that’s right - Lemmy servers only start fetching data for a community once at least one user is subscribed to it. It’s similar to how Mastodon and Matrix work too, but it’s confusing in comparison to something like Reddit.
