The particular instance doesn't matter too much as long as it hasn't defederated from other instances you care about & vice versa - since you can still see, post, & interact with content from other instances. I made accounts on .ml and .dbzer0.
It matters significantly. Depending on the users the all feed is totally different. US politics are almost non existent on szmer.info
Defederation is a secondary point.
You mean local feed. Right?
No. All feed.
Local on szmer is in polish. All feed exluded for a while !politics@lemmy.world as no one was subscribed.
I see. It's a big advantage for peace of mind but a disadvantage for discoverability.
For discoverability I use http://lemmyverse.net/ and an alt on different instance with different all feed.
All is dependent on what instances your home instance is federated with. Federation/defederation by your home instance determines what you see in All.
Szmer.info is federated with lemmy.world, so you would be able to see politics@lemmy.world, which has US politics. Unless you've filtered things out of your feed, but that's different.
A year ago !politics@lemmy.world wasn't federated as no one subscribed to it on szmer. Sadly there are now 4 subs to it.
Have you considered asking your admin to hide the community? Programming.dev just did : !meta@programming.dev
I made an account on .ml as well but noticed a bunch of comments weren't showing up when I was viewing posts on .ml which is unfortunate
ml is better to be avoided unless you're an extremist or want to become one. Well, Lemmy as a whole is very extremist, which is my biggest issue with it, so... still here.
Huh. Comments shouldn't be affected, as I understand it, just posts from defederated instances won't show up. For instance, .ml is defederated from any and all porn instances - so porn doesn't show up in my feed. I wonder if it could be a delay in the comments showing up, not actually an absence of those comments?
Either way, plenty of good instances to join that are less defederated than .ml
Yea, I thought the same thing. But take a look at this comment I made to see what I have been seeing. Not sure what the explanation could be
Whoa that's really odd. You might submit an issue on github, if you want: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy
The Voyager app is really what made me investigate because on every post i see there are replies that cannot be expanded. I'll submit an issue
