I found this community on browse.feddit.de and wanted to join it. When viewing the community from that link, I see dozens of posts. But when viewing it from lemmy.universe, I only see two.

I've seen a few different instances of this. For example, this post has 2 comments on lemmy.ml, but 1 comment when viewing through lemmy.world.

I'm very new to Lemmy and the Fediverse. What's the issue here? Is this an issue with lemmy.world in particular, or Lemmy as a whole?

You mean .world and .ml?

.world does have a lot of communities, but a lot of them are smaller than the ones on other instances. For example, the linux community here has 2 posts. In comparison, [email protected] has 2000 posts. However, viewing that community from lemmy.world only shows me 200 posts.

Very sorry for the confusion, you are right. I thought .ml disappearing in other instances was due to some restriction they had, but is actually how the fediverse works according to how open certain instances are to others. I experience this on Mastodon plenty and I didn't notice is the same here. Is .world which is putting a restriction which only allows us to see only .world users and comments, while .ml is ways more open. I attributed this to .ml experiencing problems lately but I was mistaken.
