There's all kinds of weird stuff going on, with different instances not syncing. Just updated a comment I posted yesterday about this.

Yeah, but it’s not just the comments. Number of subscribers also shows as 0 while it’s not
but it's not just the comments
Again, different instances not syncing might also be causing the issues you have mentioned.
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
That may not be VLemmy's fault. Federation as a whole is having trouble right now, the system is essentially being stress tested. The subscriber count being 0 may reflect the number of VLemmy subscribers, I can't tell if those counts are local or not. In terms of federation being resolved, I think this is just a case where we have to wait for the admins to come to a solution.
I am having this same issue with [email protected]. If I log into lemmy.world I can see there are posts in that community but when I access it from this account I can't see any posts. I tried the language and site data clearing as well and nothing helped. I will add that I am not on vlemmy, I just found this post when I was looking around for this issue and thought I'd chime in.
What communities are they?
I will keep editing with more communities I come across, if that's OK
You can add an exclamation mark in front of a lemmy-style community link so that it automatically converts it to a link (similar to typing "r/sub" in reddit instead of just "sub".
