What Lemmy … Group do you follow ( still not sure how do you call them)

For now I just have :

- @share_your_art
- @piracy
- @vim

I’m sure there are more interesting ones that I’m not aware of :)

And the best part you dont even have to have an account there thanks to #activitypub and the #fediverse

    Thanks, I don’t know the proper way of formatting yet as it seems to depend on who you ask. Early days still.

    Edit: Getting a 404 error when following that link on my sh.itjust.works instance. Think this is part of the problem.

        Yeah this looks like a pain point at the moment. I’m going with “I’m a newb to lemmy’s way of linking” by default as I’m sure I’m just doin it wrong. If not, hopefully that can be made more seamless, or the knowledge of how to do it the right way can spread far enough that it becomes a non-issue.

            If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I’m still a newb but I’ve managed to learn a lot the last week or so

              Thanks! I did have a question about comments.

              When I view an external post from my home instance, it has less comments than the source. Does it eventually catch up? How long does that take usually?

              Here’s screenshots of what I’m talking about. My home instance is monero.town and the post has 39 comment. When I click the rainbow fedilink icon that takes me to the source instance at beehaw it has 70 comments.

              Will my home instance eventually show 70 comments as well? It’s a 2 day old article. How long does it take?

              I feel like I’m missing out if I don’t go to the original source every time. But if I go the original source, I won’t be able to comment or upvote because I’ll be on their instance instead of my home instance.

                Just looked into it and actually both servers are counting the wrong number of comments lmao. They both have 34 in that thread, and are the exact same comments. Definitely a bug.

      That is likely because you instance hasn’t pulled the information about the community.

      For me the reliable way to make it do so is to type it into a search bar (in the format !community@instance), as the message in the sidebar of communities on other instances say. And then refresh the page, to see that it actually did that.
