I assumed it happened when someone on your instance subscribed to a new community for that instance so it loads in all the posts since they are technically new. Definitely a bug

Thanks for indulging my curiosity. Seems like an interesting mix. I'm sure adoption rates will be slower for non-techy interests, but Reddit had a slow adoption for those types of things too.

Curious what you mod, if you don't mind telling.

Genuine interaction is hard to fake but there is definitely no shortage of bot comments or astroturfing in the comments

I think a Reddit type platform lends itself better to federation than something like Twitter. Reddit is already split up into sub communities so it's easier to digest vs. Mastadon/Twitter meant to be one big conversation.

Your question about non-technical savoy folks being on here is valid and there's probably not many. But Reddit also started out like that and it took many years before it became mainstream. Federated serves are a new thing, even for the technological literate, so I suspect it will take a while to permeate into casual internet users but it will happen in the future.
