I'm on a small instance and a large proportion of the lemmyverse is behind a fog of war. I can see some replies to my comments in my inbox, but not when I open the post. Also I'm seeing comms say they have xyz subscribers but I only see 2. Some comms I see no comments but my own. What I see logged in isn't what I see logged out. Small instances have their drawbacks too. I'm still happy here though.
(I agree with you on the rest though. That's my life goal.)
Lemmy only shows the subscriber count of users from your instance.
Oh I see, thanks! But then why am I able to see certain comment replies only via my inbox but not when I view the actual thread? There are so many comments that aren't visible to me when logged in. I think this is the kind of thing that puts people off lemmy.
That I don't know. Is your instance up to date?
Yeah I have been thinking about this fog of war a bit. How can we spread word about what's happening so everyone finds out? Because it matters for choosing an instance. If something is blocked on instance level, it should be clearly said why.
Why does logging in hide so much from me? As for spreading the word, I've had no luck getting my old reddit friends over. It's too much trouble for them. Most people will put up with a ridiculous amount of BS.
