Not getting what I’ve seen. They filled up 90% of a thread about China/Taiwan with hundreds of comments supporting the CCP. Quite a few were just troll messages, too.
Comment on Why is programming.dev federated with exploding heads?

Ah yeah just checked and looks like I see can see their communites, didnt realize they already joined in. So yes we are federated with them atm, just if a community hasnt been subscribed to yet by anyone the posts from it wont show up in the feeds

I can enter a community but I can’t see any posts. For example: programming.dev/c/indigenous@hexbear.net

Weird, what might be happening is posts from before they were federated dont show up but ones after are. Theres posts in !chapotraphouse@hexbear.net

I think it might be due to discoverability? I remember reading something about that. If no one in this instance is subscribed to an external community, the server doesn’t load their posts, or something like that.
