I have an account on kbin. Recently I saw a post across my feed of a magazine I follow (that’s based on a Lemmy instance) was celebrating over 1k subscribers. When I visited, I saw only 240 or so.
I decided to check it out from a Lemmy account and saw well over 1k. I also saw massive amounts of content that was not being pushed to my kbin account. Even when looking at specific users, I could see only the occasional post they made was visible to me on kbin while on Lemmy I could see massive amounts of content that they had posted to this magazine.
It bummed me out because one of the things they shared is extremely niche and I’ve never seen anyone else out in the wild interested in that topic and I would have loved to engage… But it never made it to my kbin feed.
Is this an issue with kbin vs Lemmy? Is there hope it will be fixed? I feel bad because I don’t want to use Lemmy and have loved kbin but am certainly jarred that I’ve been missing out on 80% of the content from a magazine I’ve been invested in engaging with.
TIA
As far as I know, Subscriber count is specific to your instance and not aggregated.
Subscriber count in not a big deal. Hope it doesn’t happen with comments and votes
But that’s the whole point of the post. I’m missing posts/threads from users. It’s so much more than just subscriber count unfortunately. Votes were off as well from kbin vs Lemmy (Lemmy seems to auto upvote your own post, kbin doesn’t - which could explain some variance) but haven’t checked comments.
I observed it too. I have several lemmy accounts on different instances. Some show only fraction of the comments on a particular post, some don’t show the post at all, some show a different set of posts on a community, weird. My advice is stick to the biggest instances to have a authentic constant experience
Im in the same shoes. I decided to try jeroba and realized it was totally different posts from my kbin. A lot I couldn’t even find between servers. I have an account on kbin.social and lemmy.world now. I’m finding I have more fun on lemmy.world, but like the (non-jeroba) UI of kbin better.
This is what’s happening here.
Respectfully, that doesn’t have anything to do with what is happening here.
Why is it that when I go to a Lemmy community from kbin I see three posts by user123 in the last 24 hours, but when I go from Lemmy I see user123 has made 12 posts in the last 24 hours?
Something is not working as intended.
Those are two separate issues. I use a private instance so all my communities only show two subscribers even though I can see all of the posts and comments.
