I just noticed that the two communities I moderate on SDF seem to have stopped being updated when I view them from lemmy.ml’s page:

This doesn’t seem to concern other SDF communities, e.g. funhole@lemmy.sdf.org.

Anybody knows what the problem might be?

    An instance only gets content from other instances coms if someone follows.

    You can search com@instance from any instance and see any com.

    Federation is passive, users are active.

      Ah right gotcha. So like if someone is on an instance where nobody follows a foreign community and browses All, they won’t see a new post from that community.

      Makes sense.

      Thanks!
