I wish when you subscribe for the first time from another instance it would populate it with the comments that viewers of that community from that instance see even if you can't interact with old comments.
Finding a community then joining lot of times leads to the place looking dead until you view it from the instance of that community and all of a sudden see there is discussions there. But, return back to viewing from your instance and it'll never populate with the old content and only the new.
Yeah I'm honestly seeing this as a big turn off for users to join smaller instances, which is a goal many fediverse people want.
It really sucks that I made an account on a smaller instance for lemmy, and there were some technical difficulties/learning curve on my end to add a community (which I won't run into if I stay on a large instance), but then even after I did add the community, there are no posts. I made a lemmy account since it allows you to save posts, which kbin atm can't do. However, when I'm able to add the community on the lemmy account, there's none of the previous posts, so I can't save it.
Does kbin have better post and comments retrieval than lemmy? If so I might use kbin at least for tracking communities.
Doesn't seem like it. When viewing a low volume community on kbin.social, I see zero posts and zero comments. View it from the original instance (lemmy.ml) and there are four posts in the past week, with three of them having comments. kbin.social became aware of the community two days ago according to the infobar. All of the posts were made prior to that date.
Edit: I've also been subscribed to it for two days from kbin.social.
