Cross post from lemmy.ml - https://lemmy.ml/post/2640822
Been experimenting and reviewing why our community based on lemmy.world is super active across Lemmy & Mastodon is dead on lemmy.ml - not sure if it’s a lemmy.world issue, lemmy.ml issue, or lemmy in general issue so crossposting.
See the screenshots.
Basically, people posting to [email protected] from lemmy.world or other instances all seem to work well, even going to Mastodon with no issues.
But lemmy.ml doesn’t seem to be seeing many of the post and is slow to update things like pinned posts.
Nor does lemmy.ml posts to the community seem to be going to Mastodon.
Challenging to build a community on Lemmy when one of the big instances can’t see many of the posts making an active community of over 1500 users seem dead.

There seems to be a federation issue with lemmy.ml indeed, I have the impression that none of today’s posts and comments to lemmy.ml communities from within lemmy.world went through. However, other instances do see them.
hope it improves - hard to build on something when major federated instances have a broken connection with each other.
early days, though… still in a zero-point-X release state, I guess.
