This is a bot driven community which scans subscriber counts daily and uses the difference to generate a list of trending communities. Great for discovering new, active and growing communities!

Weird, I see no content there from my instance but if I open it normally I can see the two posts

It depends on if you were the first person on your instance to subscribe, and if that subscription happened before or after the posts were made. Lemmy doesn’t do backfilling content, which means only new content after the subscription happens will be visible to your instance. I’m not a fan of that personally, but I can see why they did it that way.

AFAIK lemmy will backfill older content but at the lowest priority.

Oh that’s interesting, that’s the first I’ve heard of it. I wonder how one would go about testing if that works.

It’s coming up as empty for me too, how can that be if others from this instance have already subscribed? Does my subscription need to be approved or something?

How certain are you that the community was already subscribed to? You may be the first person on your instance to subscribe there. If that’s the case you’ll only be seeing anything posted after you subscribed.

That is, unless Faceman is correct, in which case lemmy.world will eventually backfill content when it can.

For example, I’m seeing three posts there on both my instance and when I visit https://feddit.nl/c/trendingcommunities. I’m fairly sure that when I first subscribed I could only see the first post, but definitely not sure that’s the case.

Oh, thanks for explaining that. I started following some kbin magazines on my instance and thought there was maybe a sync issue, but no new posts have been created yet, so this makes a lot more sense!

You Should Know

!youshouldknow@lemmy.world

Create post

YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)

Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you’re a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.

Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post’s text body, you must include the reason “Why” YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **

Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.

Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
