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 can’t see the comments from the lemmy.world communities. I tried checking the Android@lemdro.id community, and it works, but the corresponding community on lemmy.world doesn’t display any comments.

      I think I figured this one out! I logged into my old lemmy.world account and there isn’t a !android@lemmy.world community! Looks like the posts lemmy.4d2.org has for lemmy.world’s android are from two months ago, and no new comments were added since those posts were first seen.

      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.
