Lately, I’ve been wondering why I rarely come across any posts from this instance. When I was on lemmy.ml, I used to complain about the overwhelming number of posts from the Shit Reactionaries Say community. At that time, my main concern was seeing fewer of those posts. However, to my surprise, I now find myself missing them. Despite consciously searching for an instance that doesn’t defferederate, I still can’t find any posts. It’s not just the Shit Reactionaries Say community—I never see any posts from the entire instance. I’m curious to know if the reason behind this is that the instance has diminished in size. Could it be that the instance’s user base has significantly decreased, leading to the lack of visible posts?
I don’t think the user base has decreased; the instance is just overwhelmed by a few others in terms of size, and I would guess that this is why posts from here (which receive relatively little activity in comparison to those other instances) don’t usually show up in “Local”. You could always subscribe to particular communities and use the “Subscribed” filter
Even if I subscribe, I’m going to have the same issue. As long as I’m subscribed to a couple of large communities, I won’t see content from any of the smaller communities. Maybe when something like this gets implemented, I’ll actually be able to use the subscriptions.
you should see it if you sort by New, at least
Who has the time for that?
