For some reason this particular community doesn’t have any posts on this instance other than my own recent one. But when you browse it from other instances, it has a lot, for example look here:
Is this a bug?

Probably one instance is blocking the other. Yay freedom.
No, federation is working.
Many other lemmyworld communities work fine here, also communities from here work fine on lemmyworld.

Probably something went wrong with the initial federating of the community.
Communities don’t appear off-instance on a given instance until at least one user on that other instance has deliberately searched up that specific community, and subscribed to it.
When that occurs, the community gets synced to the other instance, and future updates are sent they as they come in.
But before that point, the content is not available on the other instance.
The community seems to be working, but the past content has not synced.

Thanks, I’ve noticed something like this with other communities I subscribed to, now you’ve confirmed my suspicions on this sorta “lazy sync” thing.

Lemmy only sync’s about one page of posts, and without the comments or votes. And only once too, so if someone comes in a month later and tries to see it, it won’t even update those old posts.
So yeah, just need someone to subscribe to it and be patient as new content rolls in naturally through federation.
