Hey, lemmy.zip admin here - what you’re seeing is a side effect of how lemmy works vs some of the stuff we do on lemmy.zip to promote communities using a tool called Lemmy Federate - basically all our communities are federated out to 27 other instances and the comments etc should pull through without issue there (reddthat, feddit uk, midwest.social etc - full list is here (currently squaredcircle@lemmy.zip is at the top) - the other instances (lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, lemm.ee etc) don’t actually know about the community because no one from those instances has subscribed, so no information is given to those instances UNTIL someone subscribes or searches it for the first time on that instance, at which point its a blank slate - its the same with users, hence why neon_carnivores comment might not show on other instances - its because they’re not aware of them as a user on lemmy.zip yet. It should balance out over time as more instances become aware of the community.

You can see live federation stats for lemmy.zip here.

PS - thats a really terrible explanation from me about federation on lemmy there but tl;dr its how federation on lemmy works - it just takes time until a few users are subscribed from each instance, then its good to go.

ETA - i can see upvotes pulling through properly too now on lemmy.ml as i upvote or downvote on lemmy.zip so federation going forwards should work fine…

I’ve seen a few comments about UI on lemmy and just wanted to put it out there that we also have these interfaces you can use:

old.lemmy.zip and m.lemmy.zip - and while yes usually the m denotes a mobile interface but it also works really well on desktop/tablet if you don’t like the usual lemmy interface :)

Well the American way is not to hold the company accountable, I.e. school shootings, so yeah.

Yes, this, not the school.
