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
Thank you for explaining it to me, I finally get it. That’s why a 3 year old post was showing up a couple of days ago and then I liked it not seeing the date, then a whole bunch of the same post started showing up. My like must have sent it to someone else to start a cycle of bringing a 3 year old post back to life.
Yes, that’s likely exactly what happened.
