If I subscribe to a community that's from a different instance than my "home" instance, where should I browse to see that community?
If I subscribe to a community that's from a different instance than my "home" instance, where should I browse to see that community?
For instance, I made an account here in Lemmy.world because it seemed like a nice, well rounded place to start. However, I want stuff from TTRPG.network to show up when I browse my "frontpage," but all I see is my Lemmy.World communities.
I'm using Liftoff on Android at the moment, but I'm a newb, so I'm clearly not tied to that app.
You're viewing a single thread.
You need to view your subscribed communities, they'll show up there. By default it's probably either showing Local or All.
I tried that in Liftoff and Jerboa, but I'm only seeing posts from lemmy.world, no matter how I sort, so I figured I was doing something wrong.
Maybe it's just a bug or maybe it's because I just added a bunch of non-local communities this afternoon and they haven't gone through yet. I'll try on a desktop tomorrow and see if everything's cleared up.
Thanks for the help!
Perhaps these communities you follow from remote instances are not very active, so your subscriptions from lemmy.world (which tend to be larger and more active communities) are obscuring them.
I suggest you change the sorting order to "New". I found that the default "Active" sorting always shows the same trending topics for days. Reddit also had this lazy refresh cadence with its "Hot" sorting, but to a lesser extent.
This happened to me with Jerboa, but it's a bug. Open your instance on the browser and click Subscribed to make sure it's working. They should show the same posts
