Why are there no posts?
Are upvotes different between instances as well… if you are on another instance an article might have x number of upvotes when you open it to read it or look at the comments it has a different number? It doesn’t seem to be consistent though…
Are new posts and comments appearing in those communities since you’ve subscribed?
There will be multiple reasons. I suspect this mostly co.es down to lemmy.world being victim of a DDoS recently.
Additionally the Lemmy code itself now has mechanisms to stop instances forever trying to send content to offline instances. The code isn’t perfect and has been known to have false positives. I’ll check tonight if this may be the case here, though this was supposed to be addressed in Lemmy 0.18.4.
There are other possibilities, but these are most likely in my mind.
It’s worldnews@sh.itjust.works
There seems to be something wrong with aussie.zone and lemmy.world specifically. And since lemmy.world is the largest instance, being able to talk to it is pretty important.
For example lemmy.world seems to think the NRL@aussie.zone has never had any posts at all.

Hard to say the exact reason without being ab admin.Could be inconvient downtime, could be a bug, could be anything.
