Hi, I followed these steps and I was able to subscribe to a couple communities. However I wanted to sub to !warframe@dormi.zone and from this instance and the memmy app I’m seeing that it has one subscriber (presumably me?) however clicking into the direct link I can then see the activity. I’m still very new to this, am I missing a step?
Hi!
I think you did it right :) But the way Lemmy is designed, it doesn't copy over historic posts and comments before you subscribed. I had a look at the community over at dormi.zone and there has been only one post since you subscribed, and that one you see here on Lemmy.today. But you won't see the older ones. New ones will pop up here though.
It's a bit confusing, all of this, in the beginning. :)
Make sure to subscribe to lots of communities since only a few has lots of content, and it can feel like Lemmy is a wasteland otherwise.
Thanks so much for the response. I’m enjoying figuring out something new.
Me too, it's fun with technology that isn't owned by big tech. :)
