Comments won’t post randomly, I try to upload images and some work and others don’t, then when I try to repost none will upload at all (I’ve resized my images too). Currently, trying to load this community, it will not show any posts but I can see them on my feed. Am I doing something wrong? I feel like it’s been this way for a week and it’s making me lose interest in the platform if I can hardly interact with it anymore, it sucks
edit: just wanna note that I know the devs have been working their asses off to support the wave of like, tens of thousands of users; I just wasn’t sure if there is a secret cheat that I’m not privy to that would help my experience since it’s been consistently buggy for me
?? Few Communities? Do you mean you can’t, by default, see all the communities in the fedi? Or do you mean that they aren’t hosting any communities?
If you mean the first, that is normal for smaller instances. What shows up when you press the communities button is the communities that the other users on that server have, 1st, searched for specifically and then, 2nd, subscribed to. Only after a user on that server has done both does a community show up in the communities tab. One way server admins can minimize that pain is by running a bot such as the Lemmy-Subsciber-Bot at the cost of dramatically increased server resource usage (primarily storage.) Please don’t do that to a server that you don’t personally run. 2 GB a day increased storage use doesn’t sound like a lot until you have to pay for more storage media.
If you mean the second, yep, that tracks. Fewer users means lower probability of one of them creating a community hosted from that server.
