We all hope these are ‘baby’ issues with Federation that will be ironed out eventually.
It’s a strange behaviour though, because the instances sync but apparently not 100% or something? I have tried to figure out if all communities on a certain instance appear empty through Vlemmy, but it looks like most communities on said instance appear as expected and just a few don’t sync. For example, take lemmy.world or kbin.social. Not all communities on lemmy.world or kbin.social appear empty (as would be the case if those instances weren’t syncing with Vlemmy), just a handful.
So far, from the instances I have tried, only lemmy.world ‘sees’ all communities everywhere without issues but it has blown up with subscribers and it’s horribly stressed to its limits and slow, almost non usable
I was getting crazy here, opening a post and not finding a link inside. Please oh please, you got to fix this.
And it’s not only posts that are just a link as OP says, they can also contain text but the links just aren’t there
