FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

Thanks!
Nice. I'm into it (and not just because it's on my home instance lol). This is one of the few things I miss from mainstream social media.
Awesome!
Wow what a great community idea! As more product reviews are added, it would make Lemmy more indexable to search engines as well.
I appreciate you saying that, hopefully that's a good thing and it can live up to expectations!
Nice !
I hope we don't get astroturfed to hell and back. I'm personally awful at detecting astroturfing and AI online as opposed to a real human, but I hear it has become a problem on Reddit. And it's nice to hear other humans' opinions on products you may be looking to buy to see if the advertising and promises actually hold up, especially if it's something expensive that your social circle doesn't usually buy.
