  • Been on Mastodon for a while since the Twitter crap. Signed up to a Lemmy instance just now and so far so good!

    One question for the more seasoned folk: from my Mastodon client, I can see some Lemmy communities if I search @<community>@<server>, but I can’t see any posts. It just shows empty, but the count of posts says there are posts. Is this some sort of lag, or a setting of the Mastodon server I’m on?

    Also are these communities associated with an instance, or do they exist across all instances? I’m assuming the former? And what does that mean if there are multiple communities with the same name on different servers?

    EDIT: Ok now I’m seeing some of the posts in my Mastodon client, so the answer to my first question seems to be ‘yes, some sort of federation issue’
