I seem to see less posts than in my lemmy instance. Is this normal?
You must log in or register to comment.
Yes. Every post in the Fediverse does not magically appear in every instance, the instance has to tell a community that it wants to receive new activities from it.
You want more posts in your instance? Subscribe to new communities.
So, subscribing to an outside /c from one instance will make visible that specific community to the home instance’s total userbase, correct? But it only works in terms of fetching that specific /c, right? I.e., it doesn’t automatically pull the total list of /c’s from that other instance, if I understand correctly.

Yep.

No, it doesn’t pull every other comm from the instance.
Lemmy v1.1.0 should be getting the ability to receive a minimal list of all the comms an instance has: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2951
This doesn’t mean that the instance will subscribe to every comm. It will only know about their existence and show them in the comm list, so basically a builtin lemmyverse.net.
I don’t know if this is already a thing or planned in PieFed.
Sounds good, thanks!
Right now it does seem like PieFed-instance /c’s don’t show up too much in Lemmy, Mbin, etc instance searches for the reasons you’ve already covered.Also, various outside tool searches don’t seem to find PF stuff for other reasons, such as: https://lemmyverse.net/communities
Not sure if there are alternative, FV-wide tools that can do a more inclusive job of such searches, but so far I don’t think I’ve found any. :S

Thank you, boss. Ultimately I’m hoping that there’s more of popular, general-FV search place in which PF communities can be discovered by non-PF users.
I’d like to see the PF side more discoverable, for fairly obvious lessons, eheh.
You need to switch to the “Piefed explorer” on the top left corner.
Here’s a direct link: https://lemmyverse.net/piefed/communities
Thanks!
I don’t think Mbin and PieFed were search options as of my last-use attempt. That’s some good news.That said, it doesn’t look like the query box does anything just yet in PF-mode. Perhaps it’s in progress? I poked around the GitHub a bit, but couldn’t find anything obvious. (couldn’t even find a change-log or equivalent, for that matter oO)
Yep. Seems like the implementation is not fully done yet. Might be a good idea to open a new issue in their github repo.
That’s probably not going to happen
I think I’d make an offspin of this project, as the current project is centered around only Lemmy, I don’t think I’d be willing to build in global search as a thing in this project.
https://github.com/tgxn/lemmy-explorer/issues/284
This kind of explore features should be built in the software the way Piefed does it with https://piefed.social/communities
Relying on external tools is always going to create this kind of issues
Piefed has multiple ways of pulling in comms an instance doesnt yet know about. The newest version for example pulls in comms that have been posted on !newcommunities@lemmy.world
Awesome. Now is there any possibility of reciprocation across the FV?
Particularly the smaller the instance / server producing quality content?
I assume he’s referring to as seen from piefed.social, which should have a lot of coverage now.
Yes.
You see on all what everyone on your server has subscribed to.
If the Lemmy instance has been around longer and is larger, you’te going to see more varied communities in their all than you would see on a Lemmy instance with less communities its users are subscribed to. Its not a piefed thing, just a fediverse thing.
